Michael Beasley Released by Phoenix Suns

After a dissapointing year and off the court incidents the Phoenix Suns have decided to release Forward Michael Beasley

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Suns created enough cap space by trading Caron Butler last week to soften the "financial hit stemming from Beasley's departure."

Moreover, by making the move after Sept. 1, the organization can pay part of Beasley's guaranteed money over multiple seasons in the future.

Eventhough he is still 24 years old many industry insiders are wondering whether his career is over.

Beasley averaged career lows in points (10.1), shooting percentage (40.5), rebounds (3.8) and minutes (20.8).

Former Heavyweight Champion Tommy Morrison dead at 44

Former WBO heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison died in an Omaha, Neb., hospital late Sunday night. He was 44.

Morrison's longtime promoter, Tony Holden, said Morrison died at 11:50 p.m. with his wife, Trisha, beside him.

Morrison tested positive for HIV in 1996 before a fight with Arthur Weathers, effectively ending his boxing career. In the years that followed, he denied having HIV and also challenged the existence of the virus.

Holden declined to comment Monday on the cause of Morrison's death. "I don't know what the official cause of death at the hospital will be," he said. "You prepare for things like this, and still you feel like you got hit by a truck when you hear the news."

In 1993, Morrison beat George Foreman to win the World Boxing Organization heavyweight title. He lost to Lennox Lewis in 1995.
