When the Miami Heat took the risk of bringing Michael Beasley back into the fold, they did so knowing that he has a reputation in the league that could best be described as "troubled".

It should come as no surprise, then, that on Friday the Heat had to release a statement that the 24-year old Beasley did not get injured when he punched himself in the head.

Video came out Friday morning of Beasley punishing himself for a travelling violation by landing a few quick right hands to his own temple, and he was later seen receiving treatment for a head injury on the bench.

The Heat claim Beasley was also elbowed during the game and that the self-inflicted combination of quick punches had nothing to do with the treatment.

Beasley himself did admit that the situation didn't look great.

Heat saying Beasley was elbowed in addition to him punching himself. Beas: "I watched the video and it do look like I knocked myself out." — Joseph Goodman (@JoeGoodmanJr) October 11, 2013

Never change, Beas. Never ever change.
