This update is a brief. We are expanding coverage with additional context and analysis as more details become available.

The BIG3 league has issued one-game suspensions to Miami 305 stars Michael Beasley and Lance Stephenson following altercations during Saturday’s contest against the LA Riot, per Chris Haynes.

The disciplinary action comes after a heated matchup where both Beasley and Stephenson were reportedly involved in incidents that the league deemed secondary to the game's competitive nature. As two of the most high-profile players on the Miami 305 roster, their absence represents a significant loss for the team's upcoming schedule. Beasley, a former NBA second-overall pick, and Stephenson, a long-time NBA veteran, have been central figures for the squad this season.

While the specific details regarding the nature of the altercations have not been fully disclosed by the league office, the decision to bench both stars for one game is effective immediately. Miami 305 will have to navigate their next appearance without their primary scoring options as the BIG3 continues its summer season.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
