A former Detroit Pistons standout is about to work with the world's hottest musician.
Guard Malik Beasley has signed to play with the Santurce Crabbers of BSN, the professional basketball league of Puerto Rico, according to ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania. The Crabbers are owned by international music superstar Bad Bunny, with the BSN season beginning in March.
Beasley has dealt with legal trouble since his historic 2024-25 season, in which he set the Pistons' franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a season (319). That effectively kept NBA teams away from Beasley during free agency, even though an investigation into Beasley's alleged involvement in a gambling scandal hasn't brought any charges against him.

According to Pistons president Trajan Langdon, the NBA is still investigating Beasley's potential connections with illegal gambling, with no reported timeline on when the investigation will conclude. Beasley had previously signed to play with Serbian club Partizan Belgrade in December before his announced move to Santurce.
The Pistons were prepared to offer Beasley a three-year, $42 million deal over the summer before news broke of his involvement in the FBI's gambling probe. Instead, the Pistons pivoted by signing free agent forward Duncan Robinson, who currently leads the team in 3-pointers made at 149.
