Michael Beasley Would Rejoin LeBron, Lakers: Ain't Gonna Let My Pride Get in the Way

Michael Beasley hasn't played in an NBA game since the Los Angeles Lakers jettisoned him in February 2019, but he's still very much amenable to a return.

"Yeah, 100 percent. If they called, I ain't gonna let my pride get in the way...100 percent," Beasley told TMZ Sports.

The 6'9", 235-pound forward averaged 7.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 26 games as a Laker before he was dealt with Ivica Zubac to the Los Angeles Clippers for Mike Muscala at the 2019 trade deadline. The Clippers subsequently waived Beasley, and he's not made an NBA return since.

The 34-year-old most recently played with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association last year. He made two CBA All-Star Games and won a 2019 championship in China.

It's highly unlikely any NBA team will come calling for Beasley at this juncture. The No. 2 pick in the 2008 draft, the Kansas State product played for seven teams over 11 seasons but never quite lived up to his potential as a player. He averaged 12.4 points and 4.7 rebounds in the NBA.
