Malik Beasley is now free to sign with any NBA team after being cleared in a gambling probe, with three potential teams in the mix.
After a turbulent period that saw his future uncertain, sharpshooter Malik Beasley has been officially exonerated from a federal gambling investigation, allowing him to pursue new opportunities in the NBA. Despite missing out on a lucrative deal with the Detroit Pistons, Beasley’s career is far from over.
One of the top destinations for Beasley could be a return to the Pistons, where he had showcased his skills by knocking down an impressive 309 three-pointers in the 2024-25 season. However, due to the team’s recent signings, his potential salary with Detroit is capped at $7.2 million for the upcoming season.
With his shooting prowess and experience, Beasley is likely to attract interest from other teams looking to bolster their roster. Here are three potential landing spots for the talented 28-year-old sharpshooter:
1. Detroit Pistons: Despite missing out on a new deal, Beasley could still find a home with the Pistons, leveraging his familiarity with the team and the system.
2. Los Angeles Lakers: The Lakers, in need of outside shooting, could benefit from Beasley’s scoring ability and perimeter threat alongside their star players.
3. Phoenix Suns: The Suns, coming off a strong season, could use Beasley’s scoring off the bench to provide a spark and depth to their roster.
