Overview
- Pistons president Trajan Langdon said the team has not spoken with Malik Beasley and that Beasley currently does not have an agent.
- An NBA insider reported recent contact between the Pistons and Beasley’s representatives and mutual interest in a one-year return, but that account is disputed by the team’s denial.
- Beasley missed the entire 2025–26 season while the league’s gambling probe remains open, and the investigation halted Detroit’s planned multi-year, $42 million agreement last offseason.
- Detroit retains Beasley’s non-Bird rights and could sign him to a minimum-level contract estimated around $7.2 million once the NBA closes its investigation.
- The Pistons added Duncan Robinson after the Beasley deal fell apart and are weighing whether to chase more perimeter shooting while managing existing roster and contract commitments.
