Someone Get Michael Beasley A Red Jersey

In football, the quarterbacks get to practice in a red non-contact jersey to make sure that everyone on defense knows not to injure the guy. Unfortunately, someone on the Miami Heat didn't get the same message, and apparently gave number two overall draft pick Michael Beasley an elbow shot that ended his practice early.

Rookie forward Michael Beasley did not finish his first practice with the Miami Heat summer league team Wednesday after being struck in the chest by a teammate's elbow.

The Heat said Beasley, the No.2 overall pick in last week's NBA draft, was being taken for evaluation and had no further details on the extent of the injury.

Geez. Coach Spoelstra needs to let these guys know that injuring Beasley is a great way to end up with another 15 wins next season.

Chris Henry Would Be Proud

Smush Parker, a backup guard for the Miami Heat, missed Tuesday's game against Charlotte. Though, it wasn't due to injury or illness. No, it was because he got into an altercation with a valet because he didn't have any money to retrieve his vehicle.

Smush Parker's absence from Tuesday's victory over Charlotte stemmed from a dispute earlier in the day over a valet-parking fee, according to his agent.

In his haste to make it to Tuesday morning's practice in time, agent Billy Ceisler said Parker found himself without available cash or a cash machine within walking distance, with a minor tussle ensuing to secure his keys.

There was no arrest and no charges thus far have been filed.

This is the second time in about a month that a pro athlete has had parking problems. Though, at least Chris Henry attempted to pay the guy.

Antoine Walker Gets Robbed...Again

Antoine Walker's agent, Mark Bartelstein, stated on Monday that Walker's home in Chicago was robbed while he was there with a relative. Apparently Walker and the relative were held at gunpoint while the robbers took some cash, jewelry and a vehicle. No one was hurt during the robbery.

However, it marks the second time in seven years that Walker has been robbed at gunpoint. Back in 2000, Walker and fellow NBA player Nazr Mohammad were robbed, also while in Chicago, of $3,000 cash and a $55,000 watch while they sat in a vehicle with friends waiting for a restaurant to open.

While it's probably just two random acts, it does make you wonder whether Walker is being targeted by someone.
