Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverly had quite a night for himself in and after his team was eliminated from the NBA playoffs in Game 6 by the Indiana Pacers Thursday night.

Beverly threw a ball — not once, but twice — at Pacers fans during an altercation near the Bucks’ bench, and then later told a female employee from ESPN she couldn’t interview him because she wasn’t subscribed to his podcast.

As Bucks coach Doc Rivers started to bench the starters at the end of the fourth quarter of his team’s 120-98 loss, Beverley got into heated interaction with a male fan behind the bench.

Beverley was caught on camera throwing the ball in the direction of the fan, only to hit a woman next to him in the head. When the man passed the ball back to Beverly, the Bucks guard fired it back in their direction a second time.

NBA on TNT's Charles Barkley called for Beverley to be suspended.

“Man, he hit that lady in the head, he’s going to get suspended,” Barkley said on air.

“Listen, I've done stupid stuff and I got criticized. That's just wrong. He's gonna get suspended for that. And that's gonna be a good one, too. 'Cause he didn't do it once. He did it twice.”

In the locker room post-game, Beverly, who shot 3-for-11 for 6 points, then told ESPN producer Malinda Adams that she couldn’t interview because she didn’t subscribe to his podcast.

The other reporters in the scrum continued to ask questions and interview Beverly despite his demand.

“You could move that mic please, or just get out of the circle please, please ma’am, if you’re not subscribed to my pod,” he said. “Thank you.”
