Why Michael Beasley entered rehab
A day after it was confirmed that Michael Beasley had entered a Houston rehab facility, a clearer picture regarding the status of the Miami Heat forward has come into focus.
Sources familiar with the case said Beasley’s stay at the facility is primarily related to the NBA’s substance-abuse program, with this visit planned in advance.
In addition, while concerns have been raised about Beasley’s mental well-being in the wake of web postings by the 20-year-old and comments from those close to him, those concerns have been overstated, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Under league rules, neither those affiliated with individual teams nor those in the league office are allowed to comment on individual cases regarding the NBA’s substance-abuse policy.
However Tuesday, a source familiar with the situation said Beasley is expected to be back with the team by the Sept. 28 start of training camp at AmericanAirlines Arena.
That doesn’t really clear things up, but it paints a better picture. Let’s hope he’s getting the help he needs.
