The Los Angeles Clippers – who Beverley played for from 2017 to last season – will face off against his current Timberwolves in the play-in tournament for a spot in the playoffs.
This is the sort of heated, wild, dramatic twist that surely has Beverley smiling.
Beverley Back In LA
Beverley haters were laughing last August when the player was sent away from the Clippers to the Timberwolves.
At the time, it seemed likely that the T-Wolves would have another subpar season that wouldn’t reach the playoffs.
However, they have been one of the breakout teams of the year and are right now in the seventh spot in the West.
Meanwhile, the Clippers have had a few bumps in the roading – particularly the loss of Paul George after Kawhi Leonard – and have found themselves in eighth place.
Beverley has long said that he could help a team reach the playoffs and has repeatedly had some big talk about his play.
Now it’s time to put his money where his mouth is and see which of these two teams can come out on top.
The Clippers-Timberwolves showdown is just one of several high-profile matchups that will make the beginning of the playoffs fascinating.
As with all things related to Beverley, you can expect emotions to run high.
