Los Angeles Lakers star Patrick Beverley has no regrets for his actions towards Phoenix Suns star Deandre Ayton even after being suspended for three games without pay. Notably, the Lakers star received the suspension for pushing Ayton off the field after he taunted Anthony Reaves last week during the game between the Lakers and Suns. And ultimately, that led to him missing back-to-back games against the Spurs and Pacers. Meanwhile, Beverley’s aloof demeanor caused quite a stir on social media, which drew more attention from the NBA world.
