Malik Beasley Signs With Bad Bunny’s Santurce Crabbers in Puerto Rico

The BSN stint serves as a showcase pending gambling investigations that froze his NBA market.

Overview

  • Beasley agreed to join the Santurce Crabbers, co-owned by Bad Bunny, with the BSN season set to start in March, and he confirmed the move on social media.
  • He has been the subject of federal and NBA inquiries tied to alleged prop-bet activity dating to the 2023–24 season, which halted his 2025 free agency talks.
  • Beasley’s attorney has said he is not a target and has not been charged, though the NBA’s separate investigation remains unresolved.
  • At least one U.S. sportsbook flagged unusual action on Beasley’s player props in January 2024, including a BucksTrail Blazers game on Jan. 31 cited in reports.
  • The nine-year veteran is coming off a breakout 2024–25 with Detroit—16.3 points per game and a franchise-record 319 threes—after which a reported three-year, $42 million Pistons deal stalled.
