NBA star signs with Bad Bunny’s team amid gambling investigation
Beasley joins Santurce Crabbers to maintain form amid frozen NBA free agency due to a federal gambling probe involving unusual betting on his 2023-24 season stats, sources said.
- Shams Charania broke the news that Malik Beasley signed with the Santurce Crabbers, Bad Bunny’s BSN franchise in Puerto Rico, ahead of the league’s March season opener.
- The federal probe has meant the NBA confirmed cooperation and the withdrawal of a near-agreed deal, halting free-agent negotiations, as ESPN reported on June 29 that Beasley was under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.
- On the court, Malik Beasley’s 2024-25 season included a franchise-record 319 three-pointers and averaged 16.3 points in all 82 games, highlighting his shooting ability.
- The move gives Beasley a chance to stay in shape and visible to NBA teams while showcasing his skills with the Santurce Crabbers before 2026 free agency, after signing with Partizan Belgrade.
- In the flagged incident, sportsbooks recorded unusual betting on Beasley’s rebounds in the Jan. 31, 2024 game, but he finished with six, and Steve Haney said Beasley was not a target.
