[Saba Sports News] Malik Beasley is joining a new team.
The former Minnesota Timberwolves standout is signing a 1-year, $6 million deal with the Detroit Pistons.
The 27-year-old Beasley will provide the Pistons with another scoring option. He averaged 11.3 points per game in 79 contests (77 starts) with the Milwaukee Bucks last season. His best statistical seasons were with the Timberwolves from 2020 to 2022, where he averaged 15.1 points per game over parts of three seasons.
Last season, Beasley shot 41.3 percent from three-point range, which should boost Detroit’s outside shooting. This appears to be a focus for the Pistons, who also added Tim Hardaway Jr. and Tobias Harris this offseason.
The Pistons had the worst record in the NBA last season at 14-68, but they seem determined to improve for the next season.
