Beasley (ankle) won't return to Thursday's game against the Thunder, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The diagnosis is a left ankle sprain. But, on the plus side, his X-rays returned negative, so it seems doubtful he'll miss a large chunk of games. Regardless, he should tentatively be considered questionable for Saturday's contest against the Pistons.

Beasley (foot) was not listed on the injury report for Monday's preseason matchup with the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley was a late scratch from Sunday's tilt against the Nets, though it clearly was only a minor ailment considering he's back to being available on Monday. With a slew of guys sitting out, including frontcourt players such as Kristaps Porzingis (hip), Doug McDermott (finger) and Mindaugas Kuzminskas (calf), Beasley could see decent minutes in his return.

Beasley scored seven points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt) while adding eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
With Kristaps Porzingis (rest) getting the night off, Beasley got a long look from Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek and provided the kind of mixed-bag performance that has been the norm throughout his NBA career. Beasley has always has talent, but the second overall pick in the 2008 draft has never been able to put things together, and he seems unlikely to do so now as he suits up for his seventh NBA organization.

Beasley will draw the start at power forward during Friday's preseason game against the Wizards, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
