Overview

• Attorneys said the Eastern District of New York informed them Beasley remains uncharged and is not a target of its gambling investigation, while prosecutors declined comment.
• News of the probe in late June froze a near-complete three-year, $42 million Pistons deal; Detroit now can offer up to about $7.2 million using Non-Bird rights after deploying its mid-level on Caris LeVert and signing Duncan Robinson and Javonte Green.
• Teams have re-engaged, with the Pistons maintaining interest and the Knicks, Pacers and Cavaliers among clubs that have checked in; New York is limited to a veteran minimum, and Indiana has avenues to offer more than $7 million.
• The inquiry was prompted by sportsbook-flagged anomalies on Beasley props in January 2024, including a sharp swing on an under-2.5 rebounds line before a Jan. 31 Bucks-Blazers game that he finished with six boards, as the NBPA urges tighter guardrails around prop-bet harassment.
• Beasley, 28, is coming off a Pistons season with 82 appearances, 16.3 points per game and a franchise-record 319 made threes, which helped sustain interest despite recent reporting on civil judgments and an eviction.
