Overview

  • Beasley's lawyers say the Eastern District of New York informed them he remains uncharged and is not a target after recent meetings.
  • The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment on Friday, and the NBA previously said it is cooperating with federal prosecutors.
  • The inquiry derailed a near-completed three-year, $42 million deal with Detroit, and the Pistons are now limited to roughly $7.2 million due to use of their mid-level exception.
  • Several teams stayed in contact during the pause, with the Bulls, Pacers, Pelicans, Kings and Wizards able to offer more than $7.2 million and the Nets holding significant cap space.
  • Investigators examined sportsbook-flagged anomalies, including a Jan. 31, 2024 surge on an under-2.5-rebounds prop, while Beasley is coming off a 16.3-point season with a Pistons-record 319 threes.
