[Wojnarowski] Patrick Beverley abandons hope of conference finals return.

After trying a second time on the eve of Game 1, Houston Rockets guard Patrick Beverley couldn’t find the strength and mobility in his left wrist to believe there exists a chance that he can return in the Western Conference finals, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

“It’s a no-go for the series,” a league source told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday. “He’s done trying.”
Beverley worked out twice Monday in the Bay Area, but a second trip to the gym Monday night convinced him to abandon hope for this series, which begins Tuesday night.

Houston Rockets coach Kevin McHale has been adamant that Beverley won’t return against the Golden State Warriors, but his guard’s determination kept Beverley searching for a way until late Monday night, sources said.

Beverley still has a pin in his hand from surgery to repair a torn ligament, and the reaction times necessary to catch, pass and dribble are nowhere near the level needed for him to return in the near future, sources said.

Beverley had surgery March 31, and the plan has been for him to take four months for a full recovery. Beverley averaged 10.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 56 games for Houston this season. Beverley will be one of the top restricted free agents on the market this summer.

Really would go Harden at point with Brewer, Ariza, Smith and Howard

I think we'd all love to see him playing, but no reason to bring him back if he isn't 100%.

Terry and Prig need to step up.

That's too bad, but it always sounded like a longshot anyway. At least there's the possibility he could return for the Finals. Of course, if they manage to beat the Clippers and Warriors without Bev, I'd almost want them to keep him out just to not screw with team chemistry.

Damn. I was holding out hope.
