Michael Beasley has only been in the NBA for a very short period of time and he is already hurt. He left his first official practice in the league yesterday. Damn, that didn’t take long:

Beasley was struck in the chest by an inadvertent elbow during a defensive drill about 45 minutes into Miami’s first summer-league workout session Wednesday, and the No. 2 overall pick in last week’s NBA draft was taken to a doctor for observation.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the move was strictly precautionary and should not affect Beasley’s availability for Miami’s five-games-in-five-days run through the Orlando summer league, which opens Monday.

They claim that it was just precautionary but we’ll see. Beasley doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy that is soft but who knows. I guess they are going to take care of their little baby boy to make sure that he doesn’t scrape any knees or get any bumps or bruises.

Gimme a break.
