Malik Beasley News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Starting for injured Vanderbilt Beasley will start Sunday's game against the Clippers, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley came off the bench in his first 10 appearances of the season, and he's averaged 10.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per game. He'll draw the start Sunday with Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) unavailable.

Reaches new season high in scoring Beasley poured in 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt) and added four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes Monday in the Jazz's 121-105 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact After coming up empty from distance in a loss Friday in Denver, Beasley has bounced back by drilling eight treys between his last two games. He supplemented his season-high scoring haul with some contributions in the rebounds and assists columns, but Beasley typically can't be relied upon to provide fantasy managers aid in those areas. Instead, the 25-year-old should be viewed mostly as a streaming option for points and three-pointers.

Impressive showing off bench Beasley totaled 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 win over the Rockets.

Impact Beasley finished in double figures in the scoring column for the fourth time in five games as he continues to enjoy a strong start to the 2022-23 season. The guard received more playing time than usual due to Collin Sexton's (oblique) absence Wednesday night, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see his minutes decrease at least slightly once Sexton is cleared to return.

Jazz rally to beat Wolves 132-126 in OT reunion with Gobert

Scores 15 with 13 shots Beasley supplied 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Although Beasley needed 13 shots to score 15 points, he still looked quite good as the Jazz pulled one of the biggest upsets of Opening Night with their win over the Nuggets. Beasley's role in the future is not completely clear yet, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up moving to a starting role as the season progresses.

Off injury report Beasley (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Nuggets.

Impact Beasley is healed from an ankle sprain and will start the year healthy with a chance to prove himself on the rebuilding Jazz. Whether or not he starts or comes off the bench, Beasley has upside to be a top-100 fantasy player if Utah gives him minutes in the upper-20s and lets him expand his game beyond being a pure three-point shooter. At the very least, managers should add him to their watchlist.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Beasley (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Beasley seems to finally be healthy following an ankle sprain that limited his preseason action to just one contest. He looks to be trending towards playing in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets and should be one of the top options off the bench if he doesn't earn the starting small forward spot.

OCTOBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through practice Beasley (ankle) took part in portions of Sunday's practice, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Though he's not yet practicing in full while he manages the sprained left ankle, Beasley has a few more days to get healthier before the Jazz open their season Wednesday against the Nuggets. If Beasley doesn't start in the backcourt alongside Mike Conley and Collin Sexton, he should serve as one of Utah's primary scorers off the bench alongside 2020-21 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson.

Out Friday Beasley (ankle) won't play in the Jazz's preseason finale Friday against the Mavericks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Beasley suffered a left ankle sprain in a preseason game versus the Trail Blazers earlier in October. The guard hasn't been able to fully practice or play since the injury. Expect Talen Horton-Tucker and Ochai Agbaji to see larger workloads Friday against the Mavericks.

Doesn't practice Thursday Beasley (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain for a week and a half, and his absence from practice Thursday isn't encouraging for his status ahead of Friday's preseason finale against Dallas. It's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nuggets.

Won't play Tuesday Beasley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against San Antonio, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley continues to work his way back from a left ankle sprain and is not yet ready to take the floor. It is reassuring that he's been able to practice in a limited capacity, however. Beasley's next chance to return to game action arrives Friday against Dallas.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through light drills Monday Beasley (ankle) went through light drills Monday but didn't practice fully, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley suffered a left ankle injury during last Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers and hadn't practiced since, so his return to light drills is an encouraging sign. However, without logging a full practice, it's unlikely he'll play Tuesday against the Spurs, though it does appear like the 6-foot-4 wing will be available when the Jazz open the regular season against the Nuggets on Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Beasley (ankle) didn't participate in practice Friday, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Beasley has now missed two consecutive days of practice after spraining his ankle during Tuesday's preseason game against Portland, so the issue is clearly still bothering him. However, if he can resume practicing within the next few days, Beasley should have a chance to return for Utah's next preseason game Tuesday against the Spurs.

Misses practice Thursday Beasley (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley sustained a left ankle sprain during Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, and the issue continued to bother him a few days later. Whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against San Antonio remains to be seen.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Injures ankle Beasley will not return to Tuesday's preseason game versus the Trail Blazers with a left ankle sprain, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact It is unclear if Beasley will miss any extra time with this injury, or if it's just a preseason precaution. Beasley is in line to be the starting small forward after being traded from Minnesota. Last season he averaged 12.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.0 minutes across 79 games.
