Overview

• League officials confirmed to ESPN that they are investigating allegations tied to improper gambling on NBA games and prop bets involving Beasley, with the review believed to be in its final stages.
• The inquiry centers on Beasley’s 2023–24 season with Milwaukee, including suspicious sportsbook action on Jan. 31, 2024, when heavy betting swung an under-2.5 rebounds prop before he finished with six.
• Beasley’s attorney says he is fully cooperating with the NBA; his lawyers previously said on Aug. 22 that he is not a federal target, though some reports still describe him as a subject and he has not been charged.
• The federal probe’s revelation in June derailed free‑agency talks, including Detroit withdrawing a reported three‑year, $42 million offer, and teams have since re-engaged cautiously pending the league’s findings.
• Beasley signaled an imminent decision in a recent Instagram post, but interested teams such as the Pistons, Timberwolves, Knicks and Cavaliers are expected to seek resolution from the NBA before committing.
