Patrick Beverley set to return to Israel despite security concerns while Tel Aviv’s 6 players and HC stay in Sofia: Report
This offseason, Patrick Beverley decided to take his professional career back overseas. Following some recent unrest in the Middle East, reports have emerged regarding the journeyman guard's travel plans, via Sportando.

Due to the recent unrest in the country, Beverley finds himself in a rocky situation.
Beverley was on an NBA roster as recently as last season. He began the year with the Philadelphia 76ers but was shipped to the Milwaukee Bucks at the trade deadline. Beverley was productive for both squads in a backup point guard role, averaging 6.2 points and 2.9 assists.
