A Fort Bend County grand jury returned a “no bill,” finding insufficient evidence to support felony charge stemming from alleged 2025 incident involving Beverley’s teenage sister

A Texas grand jury declined to indict former NBA player Patrick Beverley in connection with a November 2025 incident at his home, returning what is known as a “no bill,” meaning jurors found insufficient evidence to support criminal charges.

The decision came earlier Monday in Fort Bend County, outside Houston, where prosecutors had presented evidence related to a felony assault allegation. Beverley’s attorneys, Rusty Hardin and Letitia Quinones-Hollins, said the grand jury’s decision enforces that the charges are now behind him, and issued a statement following the outcome.

“Several months ago, we said that when all the information was in – when a grand jury could hear all the facts of this case – Patrick Beverley would be cleared of all charges. That is what happened today, when a grand jury sitting in Fort Bend County no-billed Patrick, effectively ending the case. Patrick wants everyone to know that he would never do anything to harm his sister and that he is very grateful that the grand jury has recognized that with their no-bill. He is thankful for all who prayed for him and supported him during this time. He is glad that the process was allowed to work as it did and his hope is that with these charges behind him now, his name and reputation will be restored.”

Beverley also took to his X account to write, “I am deeply grateful for all thoughts and prayers for the family. We must continue to protect our children, especially our young girls. This ordeal has truly made our family stronger. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.”

Beverley, 37, had been arrested early November 14, 2025, and charged with third-degree felony assault of a family or household member by impeding breath or circulation, according to law enforcement.

A probable cause affidavit signed by Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Deputy Miguel Ramirez alleged the incident began around 3:50 a.m., when Beverley’s 15-year-old sister returned home after sneaking out to meet her boyfriend. Their mother, Lisa Beverley, called Beverley to the residence, the affidavit said. The affidavit alleged that Beverley assaulted his sister by grabbing her by the neck and carrying her into another room, then punching her in the eye.

Beverley was initially taken into custody following the incident and charged with the felony offense. Again, a grand jury’s decision to return a no bill means jurors determined prosecutors did not present sufficient probable cause to formally indict Beverley, effectively halting the criminal case against him.

Beverley, a Chicago native, played 12 seasons in the NBA and was known for his defensive intensity, with stints including the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and Chicago Bulls. He later joined Barstool Sports, where he hosted a podcast beginning in 2022, though his role with the company was placed on hold following his 2025 arrest.
