Michael Beasley Enters Rehab Facility

Michael Beasley, who was the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, has reportedly entered a rehab facility. The rehab facility is in Houston and there is speculation that Beasley is working with NBA rehab guru John Lucas.

Exactly why the forward for the Miami Heat is in rehab isn’t totally clear. In a recent picture he posted on Twitter, Beasley was showing off a new tattoo. In the background, there appeared to be a bag of marijuana. That image has led many to believe that Beasley may be in drug rehab.

There are also signs that Beasley is having emotional problems. He had two Twitter messages that made it sound like he’s going through a rough time: “I feel like the whole world is against me I can’t win for losin” and “Feelin like it’s not worth livin!!!!!!! I’m done”.

Last year for the Heat, Beasley averaged 13.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game. Going into his second season, Beasley was set to see an increase in minutes and a more prominent role next to Dwyane Wade.

With this new developments, there’s no guarantee that Beasley will be ready for the rigors of the NBA by the time training camp begins. Right now, the hope is that he defeats any issues he is facing.
