Overview
- Serbian outlet Nova.rs reported Beasley was in advanced talks on a rest-of-season contract with Partizan Belgrade worth about $2 million and lacking an NBA opt-out.
- Agent Brian Jungreis told Front Office Sports the reports were exaggerated, saying talks occurred but a deal is not close and calling the no–NBA-out claim 100% inaccurate.
- Beasley personally refuted the rumor on social media, stating, “I’m not going to Serbia.”
- Beasley remains uncharged in a federal gambling probe; his attorneys say he is not a target, while he still awaits full clearance from the NBA.
- The guard had a career year with Detroit in 2024–25 and was discussing a three-year, $42 million Pistons deal before the investigation derailed his free agency.
