Overview

  • Beasley’s attorneys told ESPN he is no longer a target and remains uncharged, a narrower update than full exoneration.
  • Front Office Sports and others report prosecutors still classify him as a subject in the EDNY investigation, a DOJ term that preserves the possibility of criminal charges or NBA discipline.
  • The Timberwolves, Pistons, Cavaliers and Knicks have checked in, with Detroit able to offer up to roughly $7.2 million via Non-Bird rights and most others constrained to minimums or exceptions.
  • A previously reported three-year, $42 million agreement with the Pistons fell through when the probe surfaced, and Detroit later added Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson.
  • Media outlets have clarified initial reports that emphasized he was no longer a target, as civil suits and an eviction continue to highlight off-court pressures.
