Report: Patrick Beverley Rejoins Clippers in NBA Bubble After Family Emergency

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley is reportedly back with the team in Orlando, Florida, after leaving the NBA bubble July 21 to tend to a family emergency.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported the veteran had rejoined the Clippers on Sunday.

Beverley will have to enter a quarantine period and test negative for the coronavirus before he can begin team activities again.

Los Angeles has one scrimmage remaining in Orlando against the Sacramento Kings on Monday before the restart begins Thursday. The Clippers will play their first official game Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers at 9 p.m. ET on TNT.

A number of players on L.A.'s roster have left the campus in recent days for a variety of reasons. Forward Montrezl Harrell was excused for a family emergency, while guard Lou Williams was in Atlanta for a viewing of a family friend's late father, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Bobby Marks.

After the viewing, Williams reportedly went to a gentleman's club for dinner, and now he could have to re-quarantine for up to 10 days before he can rejoin the team.

If Beverley tests negative, he shouldn't have to sit out that long, which is promising for Los Angeles.

The Clippers starter has been an important facilitator on the court this season, averaging over 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 27.1 minutes per game.
