A Texas grand jury has declined to indict longtime NBA guard Patrick Beverley in a felony assault case.
The panel in Fort Bend County determined Monday that there was not enough evidence in the alleged November 2025 incident to proceed to trial, bringing the case against Beverley to a close.
After Beverley, 37, was arrested, a post on his social media said that he had found his sister, a minor, alone with an 18-year-old man.
“He was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister. However, we don’t believe what followed happened the way it’s been described and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court,” the statement said.
Beverley posted another statement following Monday’s grand jury decision.
“I am deeply grateful for all thoughts and prayers for the family,” he wrote. “We must continue to protect our children, especially our young girls. This ordeal has truly made our family stronger. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.”
Beverley’s attorneys, Rusty Hardin and Letitia Quinones-Hollins, also released a statement.
“Patrick wants everyone to know that he would never do anything to harm his sister and that he is very grateful that the grand jury has recognized that with their no-bill,” the statement said. “He is thankful for all who prayed for him and supported him during this time. He is glad that the process was allowed to work as it did and his hope is that with these charges behind him now, his name and reputation will be restored.”
Beverley is currently playing for a professional team in Greece.
In 12 NBA seasons with seven teams from 2012-24, he averaged 8.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 666 games (518 starts) while earning three All-Defensive Team selections.
