MALIK BEASLEY NEWS

Won't play Tuesday Beasley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against San Antonio, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley continues to work his way back from a left ankle sprain and is not yet ready to take the floor. It is reassuring that he's been able to practice in a limited capacity, however. Beasley's next chance to return to game action arrives Friday against Dallas.

Goes through light drills Monday Beasley (ankle) went through light drills Monday but didn't practice fully, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Beasley suffered a left ankle injury during last Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers and hadn't practiced since, so his return to light drills is an encouraging sign. However, without logging a full practice, it's unlikely he'll play Tuesday against the Spurs, though it does appear like the 6-foot-4 wing will be available when the Jazz open the regular season against the Nuggets on Oct. 19.
