Free agent guard Malik Beasley has signed a deal to play in Puerto Rico for the Santurce Crabbers, according to reports from ESPN. The team, which is owned by Grammy Award-winning artist Bad Bunny, is scheduled to begin its season this coming March.
The signing marks a significant transition for Beasley, who remains a free agent following his recent tenure in the NBA. Both parties confirmed the agreement to ESPN, marking one of the highest-profile additions to the Puerto Rican league this year.
The move comes at a complicated time for the veteran guard. Beasley has reportedly been under investigation by both the NBA and the FBI regarding gambling allegations. While those investigations remain ongoing, Beasley will head to the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) to join the Crabbers roster.
The Santurce Crabbers have become a focal point of international interest since Bad Bunny joined the ownership group, frequently attracting former NBA talent. Beasley's arrival provides the team with a proven perimeter scorer as they prepare for the March tip-off.
