As per the Blue Wire Podcast's Dane Moore, Beasley is "likely" to be suspended for the drug possessions he is facing. He was charged with fifth-degree drug possession and threat of violence, and might be suspended. However, Beasley has refused to speak about the matter. 

After signing his new contract with the Wolves, he declined to comment on the case. “It’s a legal issue,” Beasley said. However, he added that he appreciates the team's support, and he's only focused on doing what he has to do and on the court this year.
