Return to Original Buzz up!0 votes PrintMiami Heat forward Michael Beasley(notes) checked into an unidentified Houston rehabilitation hospital over the weekend, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Sources said the Heat encouraged Beasley to check into the facility to address possible substance and psychological issues. He is expected to spend time with former NBA player and coach John Lucas(notes), who is renown for his success in working with troubled players.
When reached Monday morning, Miami Heat spokesman Tim Donovan declined comment. An NBA spokesman also declined comment.
Beasleyâs admission comes after a handful of disturbing Twitter posts were attributed to him on Friday afternoon.
More From Adrian WojnarowskiAllred's basketball journey takes new path Aug 23, 2009 Is any NBA team still looking for the Answer? Aug 20, 2009 âY do I feel like the whole world is against meâ¦I canât win for losin,â Beasley wrote.
âFeelin like itâs not worth livin!!!!!!! Iâm done.â
Beasleyâs frustration had been born out of a posed Internet photo on his personal Twitter page. In the photo, Beasley showed off a SuperCoolBeas tattoo on his back while two plastic baggies could be seen on a table in the background. Some people have speculated on the bagsâ contents, even though the clarity of the photo makes it difficult to determine. After the photo became a fast-moving Internet story, Beasley posted the messages on his Twitter account before the page was shut down on Saturday night.
Even before the Heat made him the No. 2 pick after Derrick Rose(notes) in the 2008 draft, Beasley has been a target of criticism inside and outside the organization for his immaturity. From team president Pat Riley to superstar Dwyane Wade(notes), the Heat have been frustrated with Beasleyâs clownish attitude and personal decisions.
The NBA fined Beasley $50,000 for being in a room where marijuana was found at the NBAâs rookie symposium last summer. Beasley had slipped out the door when security officials arrived on the scene, leaving Mario Chalmers(notes) and Darrell Arthur(notes) to face punishment alone. Riley later found out Beasley had been in the room and forced him to confess to league officials. So far this summer, Miami had been unwilling to include Beasley in trade talks with the Utah Jazz for Carlos Boozer(notes).
Beasley had a solid rookie season for Miami, averaging 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds.
