Michael Beasley avoids broken hand; Luke Walton praises his game

Anyone who has watched the Los Angeles Lakers over the last couple months has been able to note Michael Beasley and his impact on the team — especially in comparison to the player he’d be taking minutes from in the rotation, Lance Stephenson.

So when Beasley walked off the court holding his hand during the Lakers’ 113-95 loss to the Utah Jazz, breaths were held around the organization and fan base alike.

Fortunately for all, x-rays to this point returned negative.

When Luke Walton was asked after the game about what Beasley offers, he pointed out what everyone watching should have noticed.
