Malik Beasley shuts down Partizan transfer rumors: “I’m not coming to Serbia”

Beasley’s camp pushes back

Talk surfaced that Malik Beasley might join Partizan amid the Serbian club’s ongoing problems, but his camp has been quick to cool those reports. His agent said there were some conversations, yet emphasized there’s no deal and that the rumors are blown out of proportion. He also denied claims that Beasley would sign a contract without an NBA opt‑out clause.

What’s next for Beasley?

Beasley himself weighed in via a short video circulating online, bluntly saying he’s not going to Serbia. The comments come while he’s under an NBA investigation into illegal sports betting, a situation that has slowed his ability to finalize a new contract.

On the court, Beasley averaged 16.3 points per game last season with the Detroit Pistons and had been expected to capitalize on that form. Reports indicated the Pistons offered a three‑year, $42 million deal, but that agreement fell through. For now, his immediate plans remain unclear as the investigation and contract talks continue.
