Jerome Miron/USA TODAY Sports

Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley pleaded guilty to a felony charge of threats of violence related to a September incident where he allegedly approached a family with a rifle outside his home, according to The Star Tribune.

In an agreement reached with the Hennepin County Attorney's Office on Monday, Beasley will not serve jail time or home confinement until the conclusion of the 2020-21 season, which opens on Tuesday. His sentence will not exceed 120 days.

Beasley's attorney, Steven Haney, told ESPN that if the guard successfully completes probation, his threat of violence charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor.
