Overview

• Beasley’s lawyers said he remains uncharged and was told by the Eastern District of New York that he is not a target after extensive meetings, while prosecutors declined to comment.
• News of the probe on June 29 froze his market and derailed what sources described as an expected three-year, $42 million deal with the Pistons.
• Detroit’s subsequent signings cap its ability to re-sign him at about $7.2 million, while teams with larger exceptions include the Bulls, Pacers, Pelicans, Kings and Wizards, and the Nets hold significant cap space.
• The investigation followed unusual wagering flagged on Beasley’s player props in early 2024, including a Jan. 31 rebounds under that drew heavy action before losing, and the NBA says it is cooperating.
• The NBPA reiterated there is no evidence of a broader gambling issue in the league and voiced concern that prop bets fuel player harassment.
