Standing at 6-foot-2, Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley isn’t known for his athletic ability. However, he recently proved that he is capable of doing more than people think.
On Saturday night, the Sixers found themselves back on the home floor, taking on the Utah Jazz. After going through his typical warm-up routine, Beverley decided to end things emphatically. Before heading back to the locker room, he rose up and managed to pull off a windmill dunk.
During his 11-year career, Beverley has dunked in a game nine times. Three of those instances came during his rookie season back in 2013. Beverley most recently recorded an in-game dunk last year during his stint with the LA Lakers.
Due to the Sixers being shorthanded, Beverley saw extended minutes in Saturday’s matchup against the Jazz. He did a little bit of everything, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, and seven assists off the bench. Utah ended up handing the Sixers their second-straight loss by a final score of 120-109.
Since joining the Sixers this season, Beverley has been a key addition to the second unit. Along with bringing a high level of intensity on the floor, he is a vocal leader as well. Following a bit of a slow start, the veteran point guard has settled into his role with his new team. Through 34 games this season, Beverley is averaging 5.1 PPG, 2.8 RPG, and 2.3 APG.
The Sixers are going to need leadership from Beverley and other members of the roster as they look to get back on track. They have an ample amount of time to prepare, not taking the floor again until Wednesday on the road against the Atlanta Hawks.
