Denver Nuggets (2016–2020)

Following the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, Beasley had surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right leg.[12] Because of this, he did not participate in pre-draft workouts.[12][13] Despite having medical concerns entering the 2016 NBA draft, Beasley was selected with the 19th overall pick by the Denver Nuggets.[14] On August 9, 2016, he signed his rookie scale contract with the Nuggets.[15] Beasley appeared in just two of the Nuggets' first seven games of the season, and managed under eight minutes of action and failed to score in those two games.[16] He had a breakthrough game on November 10, 2016, scoring 12 points in 15 minutes off the bench in a 125–101 loss to the Golden State Warriors.[17] During his rookie season, Beasley has had multiple assignments with the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League, pursuant to the flexible assignment rule.[18]

On November 27, 2020, Beasley re-signed with the Timberwolves on a reported four-year, $60 million contract.[21][22] On February 25, 2021, Beasley was suspended for 12 games as a result of a guilty plea in a criminal case. At the time of the suspension, he was averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game and shooting 40% from 3-point range. The Timberwolves were a league-worst 7–26.[23]

On March 5, 2022, Beasley broke the Timberwolves franchise record for most three-pointers made in a single season, surpassing Kevin Love's 190.[24] Four days later, he made a franchise record 11 three-pointers, along with 33 points, in a 132–102 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.[25] On April 16, 2022, during Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs, Beasley scored 23 points in a 130–117 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.[26]
