Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley will miss the next four-to-six weeks due to a Grade 3 left hamstring injury, The Athletic’s Shams Charania tweets.
Beasley played 29 minutes against Memphis on Friday, then missed Minnesota’s game against Philadelphia on Saturday for what was initially described as a minor hamstring injury. The injury turned out to be much more severe after an MRI was conducted, according to a team press release. He’ll be re-evaluated in three weeks, the release adds.
Beasley is averaging 19.6 PPG, 4.4 RPG and 2.4 APG while making 39.9% of his 3-point attempts. He re-signed with Minnesota on a four-year, $60MM contract in November as a restricted free agent.
With Minnesota wrapping up its schedule on May 16, it sounds like Beasley’s season could be over.
The news of Beasley being sidelined coincides with the return of backcourt partner D’Angelo Russell, who will play on Monday after missing 26 games due to a knee injury.
That is a double whammy of good news for MIN… the return of D’Lo & missing Beasley for the rest of the season… just please can they pack him somewhere, anywhere for next season, this guy ain’t that good & shoots way too much, not good for the team, low IQ & a nut case, good riddance!
Low IQ and a nutcase…what name does he post under on HoopsRumors?
TWolves pick is top 3 protected. Right now they are
12 – 38 worst record in NBA. 1 gm worse than Houston. Houston’s pick is also top 4 protected. So with 22 gms left in season. Both want to lose at this point. Worst record in NBA is guaranteed no lower than 5th pick. Which does them no good. Best odds for both to keep their picks is finish last. The prize is a future star player at 1-4. So let the TANKING begin.
I hope they can trade him eventually. Idk why they resigned him after the legal stuff over the summer. Ig starving for any free agents but he’s basically a stat padder on a bad team.
Minny literally cannot afford to let any good player walk. At the very least he’s a trade chip now. But I bet we keep him.
He is going to ATL, along with McDaniels for Collins
He’ll be hitting the bong extra hard now…………Just hope he follows the doobie rules he has PRINTED out in his house. What a clown. Who the hell has the house rules on doobie smoking printed out and available for guests. Cheech and Chong possibly?? Snoop Dog???
Oh well…they need to TANK and tank hard.
I really hope that Rosas keeps Ricky Rubio around next year. Heck, I hope he retires a wolf.
Just think…in 2022…
PG-Rubio
SG-Jalen Suggs
SF-Ant Edwards
PF-John Collins
C-KAT
6th-D’Angelo Russell
Looks good……But I don’t think Collins is ever coming here…..unless they overpay bye a mile!!!
Plus the NBA will make damn sure the Wolves send the pick to Golden State.
