Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley have been suspended by the BIG3 following separate altercations during the three-on-three league’s season opener on June 21, 2026.
The league confirmed the disciplinary action soon after the incidents, stating that both former NBA players were removed from subsequent competition because their conduct violated BIG3 rules. Specific details of the confrontations were not released, and the BIG3 did not disclose the length of the suspensions.
Stephenson and Beasley, each with lengthy NBA résumés before joining the BIG3, were playing in different games when the unrelated incidents occurred. No injuries were reported.
League officials said additional penalties could be considered after a full review.
