BREAKING: Patrick Beverley to miss the rest of season with wrist surgery :(

Houston Rockets starting point guard Patrick Beverley will undergo season-ending surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left wrist, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle. Beverley sustained the injury last week in Indiana.

Since then, Beverley has been seeking out specialists to determine whether he'd risk further damage by playing out the season with the injury. Last year Beverley partially tore his meniscus late in March and delayed surgery until after the postseason.

Beverley is averaging 10 points, three assists, four rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes per game. He's shooting 36 percent from behind the three-point line while battling a right elbow injury all season, but his defense is top-notch at the position.

The Rockets are 50-23 and currently in second place in the Western Conference. They've won four in a row, including the three games in which Beverley has been out. Veterans Jason Terry and Pablo Prigioni will now take over the team's point guard duties, with rookie Nick Johnson perhaps getting some spot minutes.

Oh wait no Jeremy Lin! First round elimination again??????




Better luck next season Rockets!!!!!!!!!

[RoseCity07]

Lillard is going destroy Houston even more than he did last year. Can't wait. I wish we could fall to the 7th seed just to play Houston again.

[imdaman99]

That's a shame, was looking fwd to him covering Westbrook once OKC gets to the 7th seed.

If this Rockets team doesn't win it all you can't blame Harden, injuries has killed any consistency for the role players.

[KG215]

You know, I really don't ever wish injury upon a player. If my team has a chance to win a championship, I want them to beat their opponents at full strength. And if my team doesn't have a chance to win a championship, I want to see all the playoff teams and/or contenders at full strength.

But if there's one player in the NBA I might be a little bit ok with having a season ending, but not career threatening, injury, it's Patrick Beverley. F**k that guy.

[KungFuJoe]

Rockets are just the same if not better without him.

He can't run an offense for shit, isn't a good enough spot up shooter, and his defense is just so so this year. He can't keep a man in front of him to save his life.

He still hustles and rebounds well for his position though.

[BlazerRed]

Karma train bitch :applause:

I disagree, it's a major blow. Houston's defense is predicated upon Beverley shutting down one player (most likely the PG)

Agreed. If nothing else, he could have injured another star in the playoffs and blame it on hustle and the style he plays.

Such an important player for the Rockets because he gives them that extra tough perimeter defender.



Houston is done.

This is a shame, dude is a legitimate competitor

Mods, ban all these idiots celebrating over a season ending injury. NOW!

[UK2K]

Our playoff success tests with Brewers ability to defend the opposing teams point guard

[theaussieguy]

lol houston are as good as out, u can't quantify just how important beverly was too the houston defense.

[The_Pharcyde]

Damn Beverley is one of my favorite players to watch, you are a puss and don't appreciate D if you don't like watching him

Everyone complains about the NBA being soft, but then when you finally have a hard nosed, edgy guy... Everyone hates him

Isn't this 2 years in a row where he has missed the playoffs, I may be wrong

No, last year between games he spent his nights in the hospital though. Flu or something.

Why would Westbrook celebrate? He never would have had to face the Rockets anyway because the Thunder are getting swept in the first.

Who said Westbrook is celebrating, dumbass? Because of gifs posted in here? :kobe:
I'm sure Westbrook has as good a chance of getting out of the 1st round as Houston does now.
