New Suns GM Ryan McDonough said Michael Beasley "has come growing up to do."
McDonough was referring to both the current sexual assault investigation surrounding Beasley and his play on the court. He's 24 years old, has already played for three teams and has been labeled as a team cancer. "Michael has made mistakes and has some growing to do, but he is a talented young player," said McDonough. "Whoever the next coach is, he and I are going to try and help him see the value of hard work and hope he learns from those mistakes." Beasley is entering the second year of a three-year deal he signed with the Suns last offseason. May 10 - 3:00 PM

Suns F Michael Beasley is being investigated by Scottsdale Police for sexual assault.

The incident reportedly took place way back on Jan. 13. Right now, there is only an allegation against Beasley -- no charges. "At this point we can only say the investigation is ongoing," said David Pubins, Scottsdale Police spokesman. "We are interviewing those involved and processing any physical evidence we may have to try and determine if criminal charges are appropriate." Beasley signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Suns last offseason, but lost his starting gig and ended up averaging a career-low 10.1 points per game. The Suns could just dump him and eat the cap hit, regardless of whether these charges prove truthful.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley returned to the lineup on Monday and did not score in four minutes.

His wife gave birth to their 11-pound baby girl last week and Beasley missed the last three games. Markieff Morris and Luis Scola are playing well, which has essentially taken Beasley out of the rotation.

Michael Beasley has rejoined the Suns after missing a three-game road trip for the birth of his daughter.

We're guessing this means he's a good bet to play Monday night against the Rockets, but how many minutes he'll get, and what kind of shape he'll be in, is anyone's guess.

Michael Beasley has yet to rejoin the Suns after the birth of his daughter, which rules him out for Saturday's game.

It's understandable that Beasley isn't rushing back for a meaningless showdown with the Wolves, though he should be ready for Monday's home game vs. the Rockets. Jared Dudley, P.J. Tucker and Marcus Morris each get marginal boosts in his absence.

Michael Beasley is still in Phoenix with his newborn daughter and will not rejoin the team until Saturday, when the Suns play in Minnesota.

This is quite different from the news we got this morning, but the bottom line is that Beasley won't play again before Saturday.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley left the Suns on Tuesday due to the birth of his daughter (11 pounds) and will miss that night's game against the Rockets.

It's unclear when he'll return to the team and with the season winding down, along with his comments that he's no longer listening to his coaches, it's possible his season could be over. Stay tuned.

Lindsey Hunter said "I don't pay attention to Mike" when asked about Michael Beasley's comments he had stopped listening to people.

Beasley recently said that he stopped listening to everyone including his coaches, and Hunter said "I would consider the source — it's Mike. All I know is he better listen to what he's supposed to be doing defensively or he won't play. He better figure out how to guard people or he won't be playing." Beasley has two years and $12 million remaining on his deal after this season.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley, who averaged 15.5 points in his previous four games, finished Sunday's home loss with three points on 1-of-11 shooting.

Beasley had hit 50+ percent of his shots in seven consecutive games, yet this atrocious game doesn't surprise us in the least. With negligible assists, steals and blocks, Beasley needs his jumper to fall to offer any semblance of fantasy value.
Apr 7 - 11:59 PM
Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley scored 25 points on 12-of-17 shooting (including a three) with six rebounds and six turnovers in Friday's loss.

Beasley said after the game that he has stopped listening to everybody and is doing what worked for him originally, which in English means he's going to do the same thing as he normally does but with greater confidence. Add him and deploy him at your own risk.
Apr 6 - 1:47 AM
Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley hit 7-of-12 FGs and 6-of-8 FTs to lead the Suns with 21 points, two rebounds and one steal in Saturday's road loss.

Beasley took his usual assortment of hasty jump shots, but tonight many of them went in. He also turned the ball over four times, with one assist, one steal and zero blocks in 23 minutes, and he's too risky to use in 12-team leagues unless his playing time increases.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley scored eight points on 3-of-7 shooting with four rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes off the bench on Monday.

This is why we weren't jumping for joy after Friday's 24-point effort, and Beasley can stay on the wire in normal formats.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley scored 24 points against the hapless Kings on Friday, hitting 10-of-21 shots (including two threes) with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench.

It doesn't exactly shock us that Beasley would thrive in a 48-minute garbage time element, as the Kings regularly give up season-best games to opponents. Yes, there is a wide open window for anybody to step through in Phoenix, but we're not going to get behind a full-scale run to the wire. In fact, anybody considering an add should make his game log required reading. That and Maalox. Lots of Maalox.

Michael Beasley - F - Suns

Michael Beasley (elbow) played three minutes off the Suns bench on Sunday, missing his only shot attempt, and his role may be endangered by Marcus Morris.

"If somebody doesn't produce, then we've got to find somebody that will," said Lindsey Hunter, sounding the death-knell for Beasley's fantasy relevance. Beas hurt his elbow before halftime on Friday, but X-rays were negative and he returned in the second half, only to be benched after an airball that drew a disbelieving stare from Hunter (follow the link for video). Beasley emphasized that his elbow was the reason for his benching, but it hardly matters now that Marcus Morris has joined the Suns rotation (he played 20 minutes on Sunday). Cut Beasley and don't look back.

Michael Beasley was pulled for his play in the fourth quarter of Friday's game, but said after the game his elbow was hurt and X-rays taken were negative.

It was interesting how beat writer Paul Coro explained that, but nevertheless it's just another reason to stay away from the Beez. Coro used the term 'bruise' in his explanation, and we'll mark Beasley sidelined until we get an update. He finished with six points on 2-of-8 shooting and five boards in 15 minutes.
