Reports of Minnesota Timberwolves star forward Michael Beasley fracturing his left wrist while attempting to dunk during an exhibition game in China had vibrated throughout the NBA circles. It has cause an alarm for all those players entertaining thoughts of playing overseas during the lockout period. Beasley, who is in China together with another prominent NBA star Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics, was putting on a dunking exhibition when the injury happened. Ira Winderman of NBC Sports says the Beasley incident could very well become an eye-opener to all NBA players, according to Pro Basketball Talk.
“This is not a moment about Michael Beasley or the Timberwolves or even such exhibition tours, which are typical of most offseasons.
"This well could be the moment when those previously so willing to head overseas during the lockout contemplate, give greater reflection to the possibilities of such an injury, weigh risks perhaps not previously considered.
"There is little doubt that over his three seasons, Michael Beasley has had a way of getting the NBA to pay attention.
"This time, though, it might provide pause to an entire league.”
