Real Madrid Considering Patrick Beverley as Dennis Smith Jr.’s Replacement

After Smith Jr.’s struggles, the Spanish club is eyeing the ex-Hapoel guard for an urgent EuroLeague boost

Real Madrid is reportedly targeting Patrick Beverley to replace Dennis Smith Jr., who is no longer in the team’s plans. The former NBA veteran, recently released by Hapoel Tel Aviv after a heated dispute with Dimitris Itoudis, could provide an experienced presence in Madrid’s backcourt. The club has until February 27 to finalize the signing.

After losing the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid sits at 11th place in the EuroLeague, struggling to secure a play-in spot after a disappointing summer transfer window. Smith Jr., signed in January, has failed to make an impact, averaging just 4 points in EuroLeague. With rumors of an NBA return, Madrid is now weighing whether Beverley is the right gamble to turn the season around.
