The Detroit Pistons signed forward Michael Beasley despite the veteran facing a five-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The signing was first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Detroit’s roster already stands at the maximum of 15 players, and Charania indicates that the signing gives Beasley a “legitimate opportunity to make Pistons roster” (sp), indicating that the deal is likely of the non-guaranteed variety.
That means Beasley will likely be fighting with big man Christian Wood, also on a non-gauranteed deal, for the final roster spot on the team.
