On Thursday, Minnesota Timberwolves wing Malik Beasley was suspended for 12 games by the NBA due to the offseason conduct that led to charges.
It’s a significant chunk of games, more than 16 percent of the shortened season. Beasley is in the midst of the best season of his career; his per-game averages of 20.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 0.8 steals per game are all career-bests and he’s shooting a sparkling .455/.406/.847 (field goal, 3-point, and free throw percentages).
