MIAMI -- Michael Beasley has been thrown into another photo flap.

Seven pictures of the Miami Heat forward asleep on a boat have been posted on celebrity Web site TMZ.com, including one with several beer bottles and cans on a nearby table.

The pictures were taken on a team outing earlier this month. The 20-year-old Beasley said Saturday that he does not drink, and the ship's captain released a statement saying the player did not "consume or even touch" alcohol on the trip.

Team officials also insisted Beasley did nothing wrong. A Heat spokesman told the Miami Herald the team has explained the incident to the league, and that no action is expected to be taken by the NBA against Beasley.

The newspaper reported Beasley's counselor was also on the boat.

"I'm not trying to worry about it because I really didn't do anything," Beasley told the Herald after practice Saturday. "I didn't have any alcohol at all. I've been told the pictures came from a fan that posted them out of the goodness of his heart and didn't mean harm."

Another compromising photo was posted to Beasley's now-closed Twitter account over the summer, around the time he was a patient at a Houston rehabilitation facility, receiving treatment for substance abuse. Beasley said he now values sobriety.
