Patrick Beverley Weighing 'Historic' European Contract amid NBA Free Agency Offers

Jack Murray

Patrick Beverley may take his talents to a new continent in 2024-25.

The 12-year veteran announced on his podcast's X account that he is considering a "historic" contract offer in Europe.

He noted that he is "weighing his options" between an overseas deal or a veteran's minumum contract in the NBA.

Beverley spent the 2023-24 season between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 6.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 73 games. He has played with five different franchises since 2021 and has not signed a multi-year contract since 2019.

The veteran's minimum for Beverley would be $3.3 million, per Spotrac, because he has exceeded 10 years of service time. He remains a nice depth addition to bring defense and around 20 minutes per night to a team, but could find a bigger role and some more long-term stability in a foreign league.

Greek journalist Thanos Tsibos reported that Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv of the Israeli Premier League is "seriously interested" in Beverley. If he were to go there, he would reunite with head coach Stefanos Dedas. Dedas notably was an assistant coach of Spartak St. Petersburg of the Russian Super League during Beverley's tenure with that franchise in 2011-12.

Beverley has also played abroad in Ukraine and Greece, so he could opt to return to one of those leagues as well.
