INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis police announced Wednesday they've opened an investigation into an "NBA player and citizen" altercation that happened at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on the night Bucks guard Patrick Beverley threw a ball at a fan in the final minutes of a season-ending loss to the Pacers.
Police said in a news release the case has been forwarded to detectives, "who are currently investigating this situation and take all accusations seriously."
Detectives will present the case to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office at the conclusion of the investigation, the release stated.
Cameras showed Beverley sitting on the bench and tossing a ball into the stands, hitting a fan in the head with about 2½ minutes left in the game on May 2.
