Veteran guard Patrick Beverley is on the move again. According to multiple reports, the Memphis Grizzlies traded Beverley to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez.

Beverley was a member of the Grizzlies for less than three days, being dealt to Memphis from the LA Clippers as part of the Eric Bledsoe trade.

Confirming the trade on Twitter, Beverley posted a series of tweets in which he expressed enthusiasm about the move.

Beverley is expected to help the Timberwolves on the defensive end while also providing experience and veteran leadership to a young team. He is expected to be the primary option from the bench for Minnesota in the 2021-21 season.

Beverley averaged 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the Clippers last season. He was limited to just 37 games, having dealt with multiple injuries during the campaign.

The Grizzlies, on the other hand, are most likely banking that Culver and Hernangomez can emerge as valuable rotational pieces.

Culver should be particularly interesting for Memphis as he is just two seasons removed from being taken with the sixth overall pick in the NBA Draft. The Texas Tech product had a solid rookie season, but his development has been hampered by his shooting struggles. As a pro, he is only hitting 29.8 percent of his threes and shooting just 40.6 percent from the floor. If the Grizzlies manage to find a way to help him fix this, Culver could prove to be a steal for them in the long run.

Hernangomez, on the other hand, showed flashes of talent in his five seasons in NBA but struggled with consistency. Suiting up for Denver Nuggets and Timberwolves, the Spaniard averaged 5.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. It remains to be seen whether his new surroundings will help him get his career back on track.

LA Clippers just witnessed another key player leaving the NBA bubble in Orlando. After center Montrezl Harrell exited the camp last week, Clippers’ guard Patrick Beverley reportedly followed on Tuesday.

Reportedly, Beverley left in order to “address an emergency personal matter.“ However, the 32-year-old starter intends to re-join the Clippers at some point in the future.

It would be a tough blow for Clippers in case they are forced to enter the playoffs without Beverley and Harrell as the duo emerged as important contributors for the team in 2019/20.

In 48 starts this season, Beverley averaged 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. He was also integral for Clippers’ defense, as he was often tasked with guarding the opponent’s best player.

Harell, who also left the bubble due to personal matter, emerged as an NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award candidate this season. Before the NBA suspension in March, the 26-year-old had 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

LA Clippers are set to play their first exhibition game in Orlando on Wednesday against Orlando Magic. They will resume the season on July 30th against West Conference leaders Lakers.
