In her previous IG Story, Garibotto also posted a picture with Malik Beasley. She wore a backless top and a pair of denims as she walked, holding hands with Beasley.

"Us," she captioned the post, followed by a white heart emoji.

After a stellar season with the Detroit Pistons, the team was ready to offer Beasley a massive three-year, $42 million contract to bring him back to the lineup. However, the offer froze in wake of the investigation.

According to Charania, other teams had also stopped the conversation about potentially signing Malik Beasley. However, since the investigation has stopped, Beasley's career could be on the rise again. Several teams have reportedly enquired about the availability of the sharp shooter.
