Report: Michael Beasley released by Miami Heat

By , Reporter
Forward Michael Beasley's third spell at the Miami Heat has reportedly come to an end, as the team opt against extending his contract.

The Miami Heat have rejected the chance to keep forward Michael Beasley, according to reports.

The 26-year-old rejoined the team for a third spell last season, but averaged only 8.8 points per game in 24 appearances.

The Washington Post claims that the Heat had an option to extend Beasley's £1.1m contract for a further 12 months, but they have opted to release him.

Beasley has also played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns and Shanghai Sharks.
