And-Ones: Beverley, Second Apron, 2025 Mock, Egan, Plumlee

Could Patrick Beverley play overseas next season? The longtime NBA point guard has garnered the interest of Israel’s Hapoel Tel Aviv, Sportando relays.

Beverley, 36, is an unrestricted free agent. He played for the Bucks last season and made the highlights for the wrong reasons in the playoffs. He fired a basketball multiple times at Indiana spectators and received a four-game suspension that he’ll serve if he’s in the NBA next season. Beverley had stated a preference to re-sign with Milwaukee.

He played in the Ukraine, Greece and Russia before setting roots in the NBA in 2013.

We have more from around the international basketball world:

• While many NBA observers have noted the second apron restrictions during this offseason, The Ringer’s Howard Beck makes a case that its negative impact has been somewhat overblown. It should benefit the smaller market teams who don’t have the ability to go deep into the luxury tax, as the Warriors and Clippers have in recent years. That could help the league overall in its aim of competitive balance.
• Yes, highly-touted Cooper Flagg ranks No. 1 in The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie’s 2025 mock draft, but there are plenty of other standout prospects in his estimation. Rutgers guard Dylan Harper and forward Ace Bailey, France’s Nolan Traore and Baylor guard V.J. Edgecombe are the other prospects who make Vecenie’s early top five.
• Longtime NBA assistant Hank Egan is the recipient of this year’s Tex Winter Assistant Coach Lifetime Impact Award, the National Basketball Coaches Association announced (Twitter link). Egan, 86, most recently coached in the league with Cleveland from 2005-10.
• Suns center Mason Plumlee has been elected as a Secretary-Treasurer for the Players’ Association, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. He’ll begin a three-year tenure as part of the union’s leadership.
