Overview

• Beasley's lawyers said the Eastern District of New York informed them he remains uncharged and is not being targeted; the U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment.
• ESPN previously reported the probe followed unusual prop-bet action in January 2024, including a Bucks-Blazers game where heavy betting on under 2.5 rebounds preceded Beasley grabbing six.
• The investigation froze free agency and derailed a near-complete three-year, $42 million Pistons deal; after using the mid-level on Caris LeVert, Detroit can now offer roughly $7.2 million via Non-Bird rights.
• Several teams stayed in contact during the review; clubs with room or exceptions to exceed $7.2 million include the Bulls, Pacers, Pelicans, Kings and Wizards, while the Knicks can only offer a minimum and the Nets hold cap space.
• The NBA said it cooperated with prosecutors, the NBPA flagged prop bets as fueling player harassment, and recent reports of Beasley’s eviction and civil suits linger as off-court considerations.
