The NBA fined Miami Heat rookie Michael Beasley $50,000 for his role in an incident at the Rookie Transition Program this month which resulted in the expulsion of Miami's Mario Chalmers and Memphis's Darrell Arthur.

Chalmers and Arthur were dismissed and fined $20,000 each after hotel security found two women in their rooms, a violation of program rules, and detected the smell of marijuana, the Miami Herald reported.

Beasley, the second overall draft pick this year, recently admitted to being in the room at some point with his two fellow rookies.

Because of his failure to co-operate with the original investigation, Beasley was fined more than twice the amount of Chalmers and Arthur, who will be forced to repeat the program next year.
