Timberwolves' Malik Beasley arrested, facing two charges
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley has found himself in some trouble this offseason.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski, Beasley was arrested on charges of marijuana possession and receiving and concealing stolen property.
Police officers arrived at Beasley's Minnesota home on Saturday night and took the 23-year-old into custody. He is being held without bail at Hennepin County Jail until he sees a judge, which reportedly could be another 24 hours.
“We are aware of the situation involving Malik Beasley and are in the process of gathering information at this time,” the Timberwolves said in a statement issued Sunday morning.
The Timberwolves are holding a three-week, voluntary camp at their practice facility, which was granted by the NBA to teams who didn't qualify for the Orlando bubble. Beasley participated in workouts during the first week of camp, but wasn't there last week, The Athletic adds.
Beasley will become a restricted free agent when the season ends. He spent time with the Denver Nuggets before being traded to Minnesota in February. In a starting role with the Timberwolves, Beasley averaged 20.7 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 42.6 percent from three-point range in the 14 games.
