Beasley (personal) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley has been away from the team for nearly a month to be with his family after his mother passed away Dec. 23. It's unclear when the forward might rejoin the Lakers, nor is it known how much practice time he might need to get up to speed once he's back with the team. Regardless, Beasley won't be a major part of the Los Angeles rotation once he's ready to play again.

Beasley (personal) was inactive for Sunday's 128-110 loss to the Lakers, but rejoined the team on the bench for the second half of the contest, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beasley has missed 10 games this season while his mother has been in failing health, but he met up with the Lakers for the road contest in Washington, which is close to his hometown. It's unclear if he'll join the team in Brooklyn and suit up Tuesday for the final leg of its road trip, but even if he does, Beasley seems unlikely to be included in the rotation after having not played since Dec. 8. Beasley is averaging a career-low 4.4 points in 7.1 minutes per game this season.

Beasley scored 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding four rebounds and an assist in only 13 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 120-96 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
It was his best scoring performance for the Lakers so far, and Beasley seems to be finding his rhythm after playing only sporadically through the first five weeks of the season due to a family matter that kept him away from the team. Consistent court time will be hard to come by with LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma seeing big minutes at the forward positions, but Beasley could eventually carve out a role for himself as a bench scorer.
