Former Clipper Patrick Beverley now says Leonard is not far off from a return.</p><p>Leonard, who is recovering from right knee surgery in the offseason and inflammation in the knee, has not been traveling with the team or partaking in any basketball activities.</p><h2><b>Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard text read by Patrick Beverley</b></h2><p>Kawhi Leonard has missed all 20 games for the Clippers so far, but on a recent episode of the Pat Bev show, Patrick Beverley says he spoke with Leonard recently and the two-time NBA Finals MVP could be returning in the near future.</p><p>“I’m looking at the Clippers a little bit, they found success early on in this season,” Adam Ferrone, Patrick Beverley’s co-host, said to start out the segment. What I’ve also seen from them, Van Gundy is coaching the hell out of them as an assistant to T. Lue. An interesting way that they’ve kind of pieced things together, and the team is finding an identity even without Kawhi Leonard.”</p><p>“I am not a system player, I am the system,” <a href="https://x.com/PatBevPod/status/1862584502834409798" rel="noopener">Beverley responded</a>, referring to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-james-harden-proving-la-right-critics-wrong-with-playoff-masterpieces">James Harden’s famous line</a> during his Clippers introductory press conference.</p><p>“They got a complete package. They’re going to be scary in the playoffs. I talked to Kawhi [Leonard] on the phone yesterday, he’s healing up like a f–king machine.”</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Kawhi-Leonard.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Leonard and Beverley are close dating back to their time with the Clippers. Beverley has often mentioned that Leonard is the hardest worker he’s ever seen.</p><p>“The Klaw, that’s what I got him as in my phone,” Beverley said. “Klaw [says], ‘the league stinks right now. Views are low.'”</p><p>“I agree,” Beverley responded.</p><p>“Him: ‘they are waiting on the Klaw.’</p><p>“I say, ‘tell my boy Jerm (Jeremy Castleberry), I say lock the f–k in.’ He said, ‘I’m gonna get right, I’m on the way. Silent Assassin.’ That’s my dog.”</p><p>In addition to hinting at his return, the two also exchanged a fun back-and-forth about being the better isolation player.</p><p>“‘Views are low. They missing Kawhi.’ I love it. And then I hit him with the, ‘Hey man, you know I’m the isolation king over here.’</p><p>“To which Leonard responded, according to Beverley, “‘Yeah, that’s what’s up. I was the Isolation King in the best league in the world for three years in a row. Ha, ha, ha, ha.’ Shout out to K -Man. Godspeed. Godspeed.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kawhi Leonard’s text to <a href="https://twitter.com/patbev21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@patbev21</a> –</p><p>“The league stinks right now… they are waiting on the Klaw” 🍿 <a href="https://t.co/xiuvnMoSkM">pic.twitter.com/xiuvnMoSkM</a></p><p>— Pat Bev Pod (@PatBevPod) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatBevPod/status/1862584502834409798?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 29, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Kawhi Leonard has been excellent when available, especially after his ACL injury in the 2021 postseason. In his first year back from the left ACL tear, Leonard played 52 regular season games, averaging 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on 51.2 percent shooting from the field and 41.6 percent from three.</p><p>An ankle sprain cost him a month of action, but he was able to close the season out strong until he suffered a torn left meniscus in Game 1 of the Clippers’ first round series against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.</p><p>In the 2023-24 season, Leonard was named to the All-NBA Second Team, averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in 68 regular season games on 52.5 percent shooting from the field and 41.7 percent from three.</p><p>Unfortunately, Leonard dealt with abnormal and stubborn inflammation in his right knee to start April, which rendered him unable to perform at his capabilities during the Clippers’ first round series against the Dallas Mavericks.</p><p>With a quarter of the season gone, the Clippers are hopeful Leonard can return later in the season and help them into the postseason. Entering Thanksgiving, the Clippers held the sixth best record in the Western Conference at 12-8.</p><p>This isn’t any kind of reporting, but if Leonard is able to return sometime in January, it would give him a week off for the All-Star break, before the stretch run heading into the NBA playoffs.</p><p>Until he is able to return, however, the Clippers will continue leaning heavily on James Harden, Ivica Zubac, and Norman Powell.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

During a recent episode of The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone, he <a href="https://youtu.be/Qc4IgJJXDro?si=2Lv7E4ppF3ACtSFm" rel="noopener">opened up about the difficult situation</a> he’s navigating.</p><p>“I’m in Tel Aviv, Israel, right now. Since I’ve been there, it’s been absolutely phenomenal the way I’m treated, the freedom I get, playing basketball, the way the Jewish Community has accepted me, and the way my team embraced me,” Beverley remarked. “I’m almost like a spokesperson for Israeli sports. But a lot of people don’t understand that I have a fiancée who’s from Iran. Me being here is causing a lot of added stress from both families.</p><h2><b>Patrick Beverley under a lot of pressure</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Patrick-Beverley-in-the-NBA.jpg"><figcaption>Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“I ain’t gonna say she hit me with an ultimatum, but I got some decisions to make,” the former NBA defensive specialist added. “When I say a lot of pressure, I mean a lot of pressure from both of our families. My kids, mum, her side. It’s just very, very complicated.”</p><p>The escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, compounded by the ongoing military conflict in the region, have added to Beverley’s predicament. Although a recent ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has provided some temporary relief, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-patrick-beverley-ditch-league-for-europe">uncertainty surrounding Beverley’s future persists</a>.</p><p>“I’m 50-50 [if I’ll stay here]. This ain’t about the money. I’m rich as f–k. She’s richer than me. It’s not about money. It’s about who I want to make happy,” Beverley continued. His fiancée, Mandana Bolourchi, a well-known influencer, adds another layer to the situation as the couple navigates these challenging circumstances.</p><p>“I’m in the middle. I’m trying to fulfill my promise of competing,” said the 36-year-old. “It’s like I’m choosing the love of my life and my first love, basketball. I’m left a lot of days drained. It just put a lot of added pressure on my relationship. A lot of added pressure, especially from her side. … It’s so f**ked up because, in the middle of the season, we get this f**king phenomenal coach. [Dimitris] Itoudis is a phenomenal coach. On the first day of practice, I was like, I’m running a wall for this guy. Absolute European legendary coach, which makes it even harder. … He’s Gregg Popovich of Europe. When a legacy is in the building, you smell it; I want some of that.”</p><h2><b>Beverley’s fiancée giving him a timeline</b></h2><p>Beverley revealed that his fiancée, Mandana Bolourchi, has set a timeline for him to reach a decision, adding urgency to the already complex situation.</p><p>“She gave me a timeline, and I’m just saying that. … We’re family people. I think my decision has to be based on what’s best for my family at the time,” said the Hapoel Tel Aviv guard. “We’ll see. I think about that very day. I gave my word to the club and my team.</p><p>“It’s just a very tough and complicated situation for me, a very stocky situation. She’s like, ‘You can go play here, you can play in this team, you can go play in this place in Europe, you can go play in Real, you can go play in Paris if you want,’ but it’s tough for me,” Beverley continued.</p><p>This season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patrick-beverley-leaving-nba-overseas">Beverley has been a key contributor for Hapoel Tel Aviv</a>, posting averages of 11.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in EuroCup play. The team, currently holding a 5-3 record, was constructed to contend for the championship.</p><p>Adding to their ambitions, Hapoel recently made a high-profile coaching change, bringing in two-time EuroLeague champion Dimitris Itoudis to lead the squad.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In a 122-110 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on November 19, Westbrook finished with 12 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds against the Grizzlies. Beverley gave Russell his flowers by calling him the greatest NBA point guard ever.</p><p>In a recent episode of the Pat Bev Pod, Beverley, basing his take on pure skill, <a href="https://x.com/PatBevPod/status/1861863914549502197" rel="noopener">named</a> Westbrook his point-guard GOAT.</p><p>“We’re going off skill-based. We’re going off talent. We’re going off numbers. This is an individual award. I mean, you have to put him up there as the greatest point guard ever to play the game,” Beverley said. “We’re not talking about championships; individual statistics; that’s all I’m talking about. What makes you better than the next person? Championships don’t. That don’t make you better than the next person. You might have a better team, but that [doesn’t] make you better than the next person.”</p><p>Beverley quickly removed championships from the equation once his co-host mentioned Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. Instead, Beverley named Magic Johnson, an illustrious Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Fame point guard, as an example of another elite guard he believes is inferior to Westbrook.</p><p>“No one will catch Russ,” Beverley added. “Magic Johnson shoot back up, he still wouldn’t catch Russ in triple-doubles because no one’s ever done that. And then, somebody out the back will yell out, “S***, you can’t forget Oscar Robertson,” all of a sudden, a mother f***** got 200 triple-doubles and averaged a triple-double for two-and-a-half years that no one even speaks about. I think it’s because he’s Russell Westbrook.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-vs-jazz-prediction-odds-pick-11-27-2024">Nuggets will look to go 10-7 against the Jazz</a> on Wednesday.</p><h2><b>Patrick Beverley names Nuggets’ Russell Westbrook the greatest PG</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Fan-sign-for-Nuggets-guard-Russell-Westbrook.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Patrick Beverley watched Nuggets point guard Russell Westbrook score a team-high 27 points in a 145-118 blowout loss to the Knicks Monday night. Westbrook has turned things around over the past few weeks after a slow start to 2024-25, averaging 9.8 points on 27% shooting, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds in his first four games of the regular season.</p><p>However, Westbrook’s 200 triple-doubles have convinced Beverley of Westbrook’s ascension to being the NBA’s best point guard ever. At a minimum, he’s in the top-4.</p><p>“He’s on Mt. Rushmore for point guards. He has to be,” Beverley said. “200 triple-doubles for a point guard? It’s going to be very hard for a player to reach that.”</p><p>Westbrook averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in his last four games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the meeting, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-tyrese-maxey-calls-out-joel-embiid-team-meeting-heat-debacle">Tyrese Maxey reportedly called out Joel Embiid</a> for being late to activities and how it’s affecting the team.</p><p>Patrick Beverley, a former teammate of both Maxey and Embiid, <a href="https://hoopshype.com/rumor/3300956/" rel="noopener">spoke about the situation</a> on his podcast and seemed to take Maxey’s side.</p><p>“Superstars have to lead by example because at the end of the day, if you disrespect the game, it’s going to come back and bite you in the ass,” Beverley said. “When you create habits like that, you look at the team, you look at injuries, and then you look at everyone around you. You’re like, ‘Okay, cool, that’s why they’re not having success.’ You’re disrespecting the game. But you look at a team like Boston… maybe guys are late once or twice, but that doesn’t look like a team where people are late every single day.</p><p>“Being on time… I love to be on time. I respect a person who’s on time. Not saying I disrespect Joel, but if you’re constantly late, it can be looked at as, ‘Bro, what the f***? Like, you don’t care about what the f*** we got going on?’ I had a teammate, a superstar teammate, before who was late. And it wasn’t all the time—just probably late this one time because he had some stuff he had to do. My thing with him was like, ‘Okay, yeah, I respect that, but your having to do something that causes you to be late now makes all of us stay out at practice longer. Like, what about my son I gotta pick up from school?’”</p><p>Embiid being late definitely isn’t the reason the 76ers season is going the way it is, but it can definitely play in part in other things that may be happening.</p><h2>Tyrese Maxey breaks silence on 76ers meeting</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Joel-Embiid.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-tyrese-maxey-breaks-silence-on-joel-embiid-callout">Tyrese Maxey spoke about the meeting</a> and his comments that go out to the media surrounding Joel Embiid, and he didn’t back down from anything he said.</p><p>“I wanted to speak up,” Maxey said, via The Athletic. “I felt the need to do that because I wanted to share that we are better than what we have shown on the floor. There was a lot said, but it is what it is. We said what we had to say and we have to figure out a way to move on to the rest of the season. Everyone understands what’s at stake. Everyone is feeling the hurt.”</p><p>The 76ers have had injuries to all three of their star players, which has led to inconsistencies and losses. Paul George may be back on the shelf for some time after re-injuring his same knee from the preseason. Right now, the 76ers are trying to find a lot of answers on how to revive their season, but it doesn’t seem like they have a clue of what to do.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Under the leadership of LeBron James and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-jj-redick-insane-reaction-lebron-james-huge-outing-kings">first-year head coach JJ Redick</a>, the Lakers possess a 3-1 record, which places them third in the Western Conference standings. Moreover, former LA guard Patrick Beverley made an eye-opening prediction about the Redick and James-led Lakers that will catch fans’ eyes.</p><p>Beverley <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1851728383954059495" rel="noopener">shared his thoughts</a>  on a late October episode of the Pat Bev Podcast:</p><p>“Shout out to the Lakers. So if the Lakers would’ve started off 0-3, everybody would have been yelling fire JJ Redick. Everyone,” Beverley began before dropping his bold declaration. “Top 4 seed in the West… marking it now.”</p><p>One of Beverley’s co-hosts then made an insightful comment about how the Lakers drafting Bronny James will spearhead them to success. A big part of that is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-bronny-james-fuel-lebron-james-most-dialed-in-season-lakers">LeBron James has greater motivation playing alongside his son</a>. Beverley added to this idea, explaining that the Jameses need to be together as much as possible.</p><p>“The motivation is on Bron to put in front of his son,” Beverley added. “Don’t send him to the G League. Yeah Bron need to see his shorty out there on every bench. I see my son out there after I hit a mother******* with a fade, Ima hit another mother******* with another fade. Cause my son right there.”</p><p>Beverley believes James Sr. has a different aura to him than in years past.</p><p>“And his demeanor, his swag, his attitude, man he always had it. But having his son on the bench, it’s different.”</p><p>Perhaps the Lakers really are different than in years past. JJ Redick is doing an admirable job keeping the team afloat early on. Furthermore, LA could have the most motivated version of LeBron James ever. If Los Angeles continues to stay locked in, they just might fulfill or exceed Patrick Beverley’s expectations.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
