Michael Beasley has reportedly checked into a Houston area rehabilitation hospital. Sometime over the weekend (probably on Sunday), Beasley was admitted to an unidentified Houston rehab clinic, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Apparently the Heat encouraged their young star to check in.
Sources said the Heat encouraged Beasley to check into the facility to address possible substance and psychological issues. He is expected to spend time with former NBA player and coach John Lucas who is renown for his success in working with troubled players.
This is a major shock to me...even after the distressing Twitter messages he made a few days ago.
UPDATE: From Michael Beasley's father's Twitter:
@mikebeasleysr -What Michael jr.Is going thur is just a bump on the road we call life,please pray for him ,he needs it. Thank you
There is so much more to this story then weed. Is it time to be seriously concerned for the youngster? We knew he was immature and a bit insecure, but never would've imagined that it was this serious. I really hope Beasley gets the help he needs, but hopefully this is just a simple issue of a young man growing up way too fast. Hopefully he can learn how to handle his life and understand what to and what not to worry about....assuming it's that 'simple'.

psychological?
I know the kid likely made a mistake but he’s good natured. I dont know what could be wrong with him. I hope everythings ok but I’m a bit worried
This is good -
better to address it now than wait until whatever is going on worsens.
Much ado about nothing
He threw a little pity party for himself on twitter and smoked a little green. So what? He’s not killing dogs or getting drunk and killing pedestrians. Let him be so he can focus on the season.
According to Chris Broussard
His sources claim it was more about weed than any psychological problems.
furthermore beasley’s already a pariah now. The media has blown this up way too big
