Overview

• Beasley’s attorneys say he is no longer a target in the Eastern District of New York’s gambling investigation, reopening his free agency, and he remains unsigned.
• The Knicks and Cavaliers have inquired about him, with both teams limited to offering a veteran-minimum contract.
• A previously reported three-year, $42 million agreement to stay with the Pistons fell through when the probe surfaced, but Detroit can now use non-Bird rights to offer about $7.2 million.
• Reporting notes he may still be a subject of the federal inquiry and that any NBA disciplinary considerations are separate from the criminal investigation.
• Interest is fueled by his 2024–25 breakout for Detroit: 16.3 points per game, 41.6% from three, 319 made threes, 82 games played, and a second-place finish in Sixth Man voting.
