Malik Beasley Says Free-Agency Decision Is Near After Gambling Probe Clearance

Teams re-engaged after attorneys said prosecutors no longer consider him a target in a gambling investigation.

Overview

  • Beasley posted on Instagram that "my decision is near," signaling he expects to choose his next team soon.
  • His market had stalled during a federal review, and reporting now indicates renewed interest from multiple teams since his attorneys said he was not a target.
  • Earlier talks with Detroit on a three-year, $42 million deal were derailed by the probe, and many clubs now have limited cap flexibility.
  • Detroit has added wing shooters Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson, creating roster options if the Pistons pursue a return.
  • The 28-year-old played all 82 games last season, averaging 16.3 points on 41.6% from three and finishing as Sixth Man runner-up, though reports note offseason civil issues including an eviction and a marketing-agency lawsuit.
