Overview

• The NBA confirmed it is investigating allegations of improper gambling and player-prop bets tied to Malik Beasley’s 2023–24 season with the Bucks, with sources indicating the review is in its final stages.
• Beasley’s attorney, Steve Haney, says his client is fully cooperating, and attorneys previously said federal prosecutors informed them Beasley is no longer a “target,” though reports note he may still be a “subject.”
• Sportsbooks flagged unusual action on Beasley-related props in January 2024, including a sharp pregame swing on an under-2.5 rebounds line before a Jan. 31 Bucks–Trail Blazers matchup; Beasley finished with six rebounds.
• News of the federal probe in late June derailed a near-complete three-year, $42 million offer from the Pistons, and teams including the Pistons, Timberwolves, Knicks and Cavaliers have since checked in on his status.
• Beasley recently posted on Instagram that “my decision is near,” signaling movement in free agency as the league’s inquiry approaches its conclusion.
