Los Angeles Clippers Patrick Beverley is the third NBA player to leave the bubble this month due to a family or personal matter, reports say.
Beverley left Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando on Tuesday night because of “an emergency personal matter,” league sources told ESPN. The veteran guard said he plans to return, although it was not clear when.
PELICANS’ ZION WILLIAMSON LEAVES NBA BUBBLE BECAUSE OF ‘URGENT FAMILY MATTER’

Beverley’s departure is the latest blow for the Clippers, who also saw center Montrezl Harrell leave the bubble Friday due to an “urgent family situation,” The Athletic reported.
