Overview

• Attorneys Steve Haney and Mike Schachter said after extensive talks with the Eastern District of New York that Beasley is not considered a target and remains uncharged, while prosecutors declined comment.
• The June disclosure of the investigation stalled league-wide interest and derailed a near-final three-year, $42 million agreement for Beasley to re-sign with the Pistons.
• Detroit now can offer only about $7.2 million using Non-Bird rights after deploying its mid-level exception on Caris LeVert, with Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green also added on the wing.
• ESPN reports several teams stayed in contact; franchises positioned to top Detroit’s limit include the Bulls, Pacers, Pelicans, Kings and Wizards via exceptions, and the Nets retain more than $20 million in cap space.
• The probe followed sportsbook-flagged, unusual action on a Jan. 31, 2024 rebounds prop during his Bucks stint; the NBA says it is cooperating with authorities and the NBPA called for curbs on prop-bet harassment.
