Malik Beasley was a free agent looking to re-sign a three-year, $42 million contract with the Detroit Pistons before he was named in a federal investigation about an NBA gambling scandal.
Beasley's attorneys stated that he was cleared of any wrongdoing in the federal case in August. Beasley is still under investigation by the NBA related to suspicious prop bets placed during the 2023-24 season. Despite the issues, he has found a place to play basketball this season.
Beasley, 29, reportedly signed a deal to play in Puerto Rico for the Santurce Crabbers, a team owned by Grammy Award-winning and Super Bowl 60 performing artist Bad Bunny, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
