Patrick Beverley, a former NBA guard, was cleared of a third‑degree felony assault charge after a Fort Bend County grand jury no‑billed him, effectively ending the case. The decision came after an arrest on Nov. 14 when deputies responded to his mother’s call about a confrontation with his teenage sister and her boyfriend.

The incident, detailed in a probable‑cause affidavit, alleged that Beverley confronted his 15‑year‑old sister in the family home. The grand jury’s no‑bill means no charges will be filed, and Beverley has thanked supporters for their prayers and hopes his reputation will be restored.
