Patrick Beverley Has Cast Removed As He Tests Options To Return In WCF
May 18, 2015 4:11 PM
Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley had the cast removed on his surgically-repaired left wrist Monday and will examine smaller braces to test his capacity to play in the Western Conference Finals, league sources told RealGM.
Beverley has a strong desire to return to the Rockets’ lineup against the Golden State Warriors, and will test his left wrist in ball handling drills on Monday night, a step toward determining his status, a source said.
If Beverley returns, he would need to find a brace capable of protecting his wrist and allowing him to use his pain tolerance.
Beverley, 26, averaged 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 56 games this season. He suffered the wrist injury in late March.
