  01/25/2022 • By RotoWire

  Beasley was deemed eligible to play for NBA clubs starting Feb. 14 by the league office Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Beasley signed with a Puerto Rican club in October and will now attempt a return to the NBA ranks. The 33-year-old spent some time with the Trail Blazers in Summer League but hasn't seen NBA action since averaging 7.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 10.7 minutes over 26 games for the Lakers during the 2018-19 campaign.

• Michael Beasley: Will play in summer league

  07/01/2021 • By RotoWire

  Beasley will play for the Trail Blazers' entry at the Las Vegas Summer League, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The 11-year NBA veteran hasn't suited up for an NBA game since the 2018-19 season, but he's still searching for a path back to the league. The 32-year-old has never been able to find a permanent NBA home, having spent time with Miami, Minnesota, Phoenix, Houston, Milwaukee, New York and, most recently, the Lakers. He'll likely face an uphill battle toward securing a guaranteed contract, but playing well in Vegas would increase his chances.

  07/16/2020 • By RotoWire

  Beasley will not join the Nets for the resumption of the season and his roster spot will be replaced, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Beasley tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday. Considering Beasley would have to go through both a quarantine period and serve a five-game suspension, it's not clear how many games he would end up actually playing for Brooklyn. As a result, the team is opting to replace his roster spot with someone who will likely be available for the entire resumption of the season.

• Nets' Michael Beasley: Tests positive for COVID-19

  07/14/2020 • By RotoWire

  Beasley recently tested positive for COVID-19 and is not currently with the Nets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Beasley signed with the Nets last week as a replacement player, but his status for the restart of the 2019-20 season is now very much up in the air. The 2008 No. 2 overall pick returned home after testing positive, so if he does rejoin the Nets, he'll likely have to quarantine for a period of time after returning to Orlando. Beasley was already set to serve an outstanding five-game suspension stemming from a past violation of the league's anti-drug policy, so he's not eligible to play until Aug. 9.
