Draped in a white hoodie, Malik Beasley was footsteps away from quietly exiting out of the Nuggets’ locker room before being stopped by the media to answer a few questions about his six points in the fourth quarter. Despite only playing 49 minutes in the month of November prior to Sunday’s 116-104 win over the Phoenix Suns, Beasley didn’t elaborate much about his role in his availability. Instead, his focus was on team success.
“It was so good to bring energy, especially to get a win – that’s the most important thing,” Beasley said.
After the game, several of Beasley’s teammates voiced their appreciation of the 22-year-old staying engaged and being ready for his opportunity.
