00:00Dave Portnoy refuses to fire Patrick Beverly, who is accused of choking and punching his 15-year-old sister in Texas.
00:08Dave Portnoy is not pulling the trigger and firing Patrick Beverly just yet.
00:12Over the weekend, the former NBA star-turned-barstool sports podcaster was arrested for allegedly attacking a family member during a domestic dispute.
00:21On Tuesday, TMZ revealed that Beverly has been accused of choking and punching his 15-year-old sister after she admitted to sneaking out to meet her older boyfriend.
00:30According to the probable cause affidavit, Beverly's sister told officials she left the home in the middle of the night without permission to see her boyfriend, Aiden Hildebrand, at a nearby park on November 14.
00:41When she returned home, her mother, Lisa, was awake and told her to enter her room.
00:47Lisa then told her daughter to call Hildebrand and tell him to pick her up.
00:50Upon his arrival, Hildebrand was told to go inside, and Lisa called Beverly to come over to the residence.
00:56Beverly then seemingly scolded his sister before he grabbed her by her neck with both hands and picked her up off the ground by having her feet come up from the floor.
01:04His sister claims his grasp on her neck made her feel pain and as if she was losing oxygen and unable to breathe, which lasted between 20 and 30 seconds.
01:14The sister stated Beverly took her out of the bedroom by the neck and slammed her body against the walls of an open room area of the house.
01:22She claims Beverly then lay her on the sofa, stood on top of her, and punched her approximately one time on her left eye with a closed fist.
01:30The sister added, Beverly made a comment that he will be the family relative to kill her.
01:35After his arrest, Beverly tried to justify his actions in a social media post.
01:40Patrick Beverly has no criminal record.
01:43He cares deeply about his little sister, a young lady, a minor.
01:48Given that when he unexpectedly found her alone in the home with an 18-year-old man in the middle of the night,
01:53he was understandably concerned, as any brother would be about his sister.
01:57However, we don't believe what followed happened the way it's been described,
02:01and we look forward to the opportunity to address that in court.
02:04During his live stream on Tuesday, Portnoy said he would not fire Beverly,
02:08who is currently under contract with Barstool Sports.
02:11Pat Bev is still employed.
02:13We stick with our guys until there's a reason not to.
