00:00I'm Jill Painter-Lopez for Sports Illustrated, joined by Melissa Rowland.
00:08And Melissa, Jared Dudley and Patrick Beverly have a little bit of a Twitter beef going
00:12on right now.
00:13You got the Lakers-Clippers rivalry right there, and they were jawing about soft tissue
00:18injuries.
00:19What was that beef all about?
00:21Jared Dudley expressed some concern over NBA players having enough time to get into shape,
00:27enough time to have enough five-on-five scrimmages before the three-month season began.
00:31He expressed some concern that without enough time, players could be more susceptible to
00:36soft tissue injuries.
00:37Patrick Beverly then tweeted at Jared Dudley essentially saying, you know what, this is
00:42our job.
00:43Basketball is a year-round sport, essentially implying, why are you worried about this?
00:49You know, this is what we do for a living.
00:51And Jared Dudley then responded to Patrick Beverly saying, this is absolutely our job
00:56to worry about injuries.
00:57It's also our job to worry about COVID.
00:59It's also our job to worry about the protests.
01:02And Patrick Beverly famously had earlier said, you know, he was involved in the discussions
01:08about whether NBA players should sit out the season.
01:11And so Jared Dudley then took a little shot at Patrick Beverly and said, maybe you should
01:15sit out this conversation.
