35-year-old defensive champion Patrick Beverly recently admitted on his podcast program "Pat Bev Pod" that he hopes to return to the NBA. This "Mad Dogs" defender, who has a headache for the defenders in the league, is actively contacting the management of each team for a trial opportunity.

At this time last year, Beverly had just finished the playoffs with the Bucks. Although the team was eliminated by the Pacers in the first round, the veteran also contributed some of the strength to the team and scored amazing data of 20 points and 10 rebounds in a single game in the regular season. But no one expected that he suddenly announced his joining the Israeli League during the offseason.

"I know I have done some stupid things, but now I just need to give me a training camp quota and I promise to get my position back." Beverly admitted on the show that he had contacted several general managers and coaches. Although the specific team was not disclosed, according to league sources, at least three playoff edge teams are watching the form of the best defensive member.

Interestingly, Beverly's trip to Israel is also dramatic. He joined Tel Aviv Sharp in July last year, but the suspension caused a storm in less than half a year. In February this year, he simply terminated his contract early. Now he is in a state of the wild court in Chicago's South Side every day, and training clips of him locking young players are leaked from time to time on short video platforms.

"The league is now looking for veterans who can defend and fight," a scout of the Eastern Conference team revealed to reporters, "There is still oil in Beverly's fuel tank, but it depends on whether he can control his temper. " As the free agent market gradually becomes deserted, the last chance of this 12-year NBA veteran may be hidden in a training camp trial invitation.
