Michael Beasley returns to the Miami Heat

The Miami Heat have acquired Michael Beasley for a third time after he signed a 10-day contract with the franchise on Thursday.

The second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft is expected to return to the lineup on Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

"I feel great," Beasley said, according to ESPN.

"I'm definitely blessed and humbled for yet another opportunity, and I'm ready to take it by storm."

Having spent the first half of the season in China, Beasley arrives in Miami after center Chris Bosh was ruled out for the rest of the season after developing blood clots in his lung.
