Here’s the OC Register reporting on scrappy Clippers guard Patrick Beverley, who just went through an extremely busy time as he underwent the process to suit up and ball:
Patrick Beverley was … ready.
Ready on Thursday, when the Clippers restarted the season against the Lakers on the same day he rejoined his squad after leaving the bubble July 21 to mourn the death of a loved one, and then waiting out a four-day quarantine upon his return.
Ready on Sunday, when he was back in the starting lineup, accounting for three of the Clippers’ franchise-record 25 3-pointers and a host of other contributions that Coach Doc Rivers called “immeasurable” in the 126-103 victory over New Orleans.
Ready on Monday ahead of practice at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Convention Center, where he saw Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, in the hallway at told him as much (albeit with more colorful language).
The Clippers are the West’s No. 2 seed. They won’t catch up with the No. 1 Lakers, but aren’t far ahead of the No. 3 Nuggets.
