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.

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.
