Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley has been released from jail after being detained on allegations of marijuana possession and receiving and concealing stolen weapons, his attorney Steven Haney told The Athletic's Shams Charania and Jon Krawczynski.

The 23-year-old was arrested Saturday in suburban Minneapolis, according to Hennepin County arrest records.

"We are aware of the situation involving Malik Beasley and are in the process of gathering information at this time," the Timberwolves said in a statement.

Local police have received multiple trespassing complaints on Beasley's home in the past, sources told Charania and Krawczynski.

Beasley was not part of the Wolves' five-on-five group practices last week, but participated in individual workouts. The No. 19 pick in the 2016 draft is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason after being acquired from the Denver Nuggets last February.

He averaged 21 points in 14 games for Minnesota this season.
