Attitude issues, suspicion of drug use and paranoia over his future in Miami all contributed to a path that recently led Heat forward Michael Beasley to a Houston rehabilitation center, multiple sources confirmed Monday. Beasley, the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, has been in counseling at the undisclosed facility to address psychological issues and apparent drug use for as many as two weeks.
Details of Beasley’s attendance emerged Monday in the wake of several disturbing comments and a controversial photo recently posted on his Twitter account. The Heat had strongly encouraged Beasley, 20, to seek help and received backing from the league.
