Beverley is currently under investigation by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for throwing the ball and hitting a fan in the head. Police have placed detectives on the case “who are currently investigating this situation and take all accusations seriously.”
Beverley apologized on his podcast, stating, “I have to be better, and I will be better. That should have never happened. Regardless of what was said, that should have never happened. Simple as that.”
Beverley also issued a direct apology to Adams, which she accepted.
