Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley has been charged with fifth-degree drug possession after his September 27th arrest in his Plymouth, Minnesota residence. In addition, Beasley has also been charged with threats of violence.
“We are cooperating with the law enforcement investigation and will carefully review the discovery and charges in the coming days,” his attorneys Steve Haney and Ryan Pacyga said in a statement.

He was acquired on February 5th, which involved four teams. He was traded with Juancho Hernangómez, Evan Turner, and Jarred Vanderbilt to the Timberwolves. Robert Covington, Jordan Bell, and a second-round draft pick went to the Houston Rockets.
Clint Capela and fellow big man Nenê (real name Nenê Hilário) were traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Gerald Green, Noah Vonleh, Keita Bates-Diop, Shabazz Napier, and a first-round pick were swapped to the Denver Nuggets.
In September, he was arrested for threatening several victims, who were outside of his property in a car, with a gun. He was being a loudmouth with the officers by yelling at them.
This caused the authorities to investigate his residence after getting a search warrant. Once inside his Plymouth, Minnesota home, they found marijuana, along with stolen property.
Beasley made 14 starts after the trade with the Nuggets. He averaged 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks in 33.1 minutes per game.
