• Malik Beasley: Cleared from federal investigation

  08/22/2025 • By RotoWire

  Beasley is no longer a target of New York's gambling investigation, ESPN's Shams Charania reports Friday. Charania notes that the news could reopen Beasley's free agency, which was dormant this summer. While most NBA teams have their rosters set in stone, Beasley could still have a sizable market after a terrific 2024-25 campaign in which he averaged 16.3 points, 3.9 three-pointers, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals across 27.8 minutes per contest during the regular season. He finished second in the NBA in total three-pointers made with 319.

• Pistons' Malik Beasley: Under federal investigation

  06/29/2025 • By RotoWire

  Beasley is under federal investigation for gambling allegations related to NBA games and prop bets from the 2023-24 season while with the Bucks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Sunday. Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN, "Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything." Per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News, the Pistons have acknowledged the situation and will defer any further comment to the NBA. Charania notes that Beasley and the Pistons were in serious talks on a three-year, $42 million contract that would return the sharpshooter to Detroit after he finished with 319 made three-pointers in the 2024-25 regular season, one shy of Anthony Edwards for the league high, but the negotiations have stalled.
