LOS ANGELES -- LA Clippers guard Patrick Beverley left Wednesday's 128-111 victory over the Miami Heat after reaggravating a nagging right groin injury. He will be reevaluated on Thursday.
Miami forward Jimmy Butler also left Wednesday's game, after straining his right shoulder. The Heat announced that Butler wouldn't return.
It's the third time this season Beverley has been sidelined with the issue, as he missed a game in December and three games last month dealing with a sore right groin. He also recently dealt with a sprained wrist that caused him to miss three games.
Beverley, who committed Wednesday to taking part in the Skills Challenge over NBA All-Star Weekend, scored five points before leaving in the third quarter.
