The NBA is widely regarded as the premier basketball league in the world, as it attracts talent from across the globe each year. Players from various nations come to the United States with the dream of becoming a part of the league. However, former NBA guard Patrick Beverley made the unusual decision to step away from the NBA instead of waiting for an opportunity.
During his free agency, Beverley signed a two-year deal to play for Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Israeli Basketball Premier League during the 2024-25 season. Despite this stint overseas, his desire to return to the NBA has grown stronger.
Now he appears eager to make a comeback. In a video shared on his “Pat Bev Pod,” Beverley opened up about his goal to return to the NBA next season.
“I’m making my entrance back to the NBA next year, I miss it. I hit a couple GM’s, a couple coaches. I said listen, just invite me to training camp; I don’t need no favor. Just invite me to training camp, I’ll do the rest,” he said.
