Beverley completed the NBA’s concussion protocol when he returned to practice Tuesday, but his availability for Wednesday’s game was thrown into a few question temporarily after he missed the Rockets’ shootaround. He was driving on a toll road that requires an E-Z tag pass. He was arrested and then released after paying the fine for the Class C misdemeanor warrant. He was stopped Wednesday morning, arrested on the scene and taken to a police station, where he paid the fine.

The Rockets released a statement saying Beverley resolved vehicle registration and toll issues and they consider the matter closed.
According to the Harris County Toll Road Authority, a vehicle is blocked from using a toll road for habitual violations.

Between the injuries plaguing their frontcourt and the personal/legal issues hounding their backcourt (namely, Beverley, James Harden, and Ty Lawson), it has been a bumpy start to the season for Houston to say the least. He scored three points in 8:53 off the bench Wednesday in his return.
