Agent Downplays Reports Linking Malik Beasley to Partizan Belgrade

His agent says discussions with Partizan Belgrade are not close, rejecting reports of a no‑NBA‑out clause.

Overview

  • Serbian outlet Nova.rs reported that Beasley was in advanced talks on a rest‑of‑season deal worth about $2 million with Partizan Belgrade that would not include an NBA opt‑out.
  • Agent Brian Jungreis told Front Office Sports the reports are exaggerated, saying there have been conversations and some framework but nothing close to being finalized.
  • Jungreis called the claim of no NBA opt‑out “100% inaccurate” and said any overseas agreement would include a path back to the league.
  • Beasley remains under federal and NBA review, his attorneys say he is uncharged and not a target, and his camp is still awaiting league clearance to sign.
  • The 29‑year‑old is coming off a career season with Detroit that preceded a collapsed three‑year, $42 million Pistons deal, and Partizan has started 5–9 in EuroLeague play.
