Apart from fines related to technical fouls and ejections, it is the first discipline the veteran guard has received from the league since being fined for flopping in November, according to Spotrac.
Beverley was also fined $25,000 back in October for throwing the ball into the stands after the Clippers beat the Los Angeles Lakers.
Game 3 of the Clippers-Nuggets series is set for 9 p.m. ET.
