Heat dispute reports Michael Beasley required treatment for punching self in head

Heat dispute reports Michael Beasley required treatment for punching self in head, Michael Beasley made his preseason debut for the Heat in a 112-107 road victory over the Pistons on Thursday, tallying nine points, two rebounds and, reportedly, one massive headache.

The Miami Herald reports that Beasley enjoyed a successful night overall, minus a little over-eager self-discipline.

Upset with himself over missing a shot, Beasley started punching himself in the head while running back on defense. He punched himself so hard that he needed treatment after the game from the Heat’s trainer.

The paper further reported on Twitter that Beasley’s eyebrow was “swollen” and that the team’s staff treated him using the same medical tools that a boxing trainer might use on a fighter during a bout. He apparently began punching himself after being whistled for a traveling violation.
