Everyone in the NBA knows Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook and L.A. Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley don't like each other, and the two guards got into it once again Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.
If you recall, back in the 2013 playoffs, Beverley collided with Westbrook's right knee while the Thunder superstar was going to take a timeout. The collision with Beverley resulted in a meniscus tear. Westbrook underwent three surgeries on the knee in a nine-month span and had another procedure in September.
Well, Patrick Beverley was up to his old tricks again Tuesday night, diving at Russell Westbrook's surgically repaired knee. An altercation ensued afterward.

The Thunder defeated the Clippers by a final score of 128-110. Russell Westbrook finished with 32 points, four rebounds, and eight assists in 33 minutes to help Oklahoma City win its second game of the season.
After the game, Westbrook was asked by reporters to describe the altercation with Beverley. The 2017 MVP responded in typical Westbrook manner.

Patrick Beverley had zero shot at getting the ball. There was no need to jump into Russell Westbrook's knees. If you don't like the guy, that's one thing. But to make a dirty play like that when you know the guy just had surgery is not the right move.
