Knee injury forces Patrick Beverley out of Clippers game vs. Warriors

Clippers guard Patrick Beverley takes hard contact, then argues his way into a tech before exiting Thursday’s game.

The Clippers lost starting point guard Patrick Beverley late in the first quarter of Thursday’s game vs. Golden State, ruling him out with right knee soreness. Beverley had logged three points and a block through 10 minutes before exiting after picking up a technical foul with 1:14 remaining in the quarter.

It’s been an ongoing issue for the veteran guard, who had a similarly abbreviated outing on January 24, one that preceded an extended rest.

Reggie Jackson opened the second half at PG for the Clippers.
