The NBA suspended Clippers guard Patrick Beverley for one game without pay for an unsportsmanlike act during Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.
Heading into a timeout with 5:49 left to play, Beverley shoved Paul in the back, causing Paul to fall to the ground. Beverley was assessed a technical foul and was ejected from the game.
Beverley's suspension will be served during the first regular-season game he is eligible to play in the 2021-22 season.
On Thursday, Beverley apologized for shoving Paul in the back.
