Report: NBA veteran Beasley headed to China

The next stop on NBA journeyman Michael Beasley's hoops odyssey is reportedly in China. Beasley, 30, has played for seven NBA teams in 11 seasons since the Miami Heat drafted the forward No. 2 overall in 2008.

He played in 26 games with the Los Angeles Lakers this season, averaging 7.0 points and 2.3 rebounds before getting traded with Ivica Zubac to the Los Angeles Clippers for Mike Muscala on Feb. 7. The Clippers waived Beasley two days later.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Tuesday that Beasley is finalizing a deal with Guangdong of the Chinese Basketball Association. "Short run of two months, significant cash," Wojnarowski tweeted. Beasley has averaged 12.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in 609 career games (238 starts) with the Miami Heat (2008-10, 2013-15), Minnesota Timberwolves (2010-12), Phoenix Suns (2012-13), Houston Rockets (2015-16), Milwaukee Bucks (2016-17), New York Knicks (2017-18) and Lakers (2018-19).
