According to reports, the US district prosecutor investigating Pistons Malik Beasley for betting on the NBA games, bets on purpose

In what could be transformed into an incredibly embarrassing and embarrassing situation for the NBA, “the office of the United States District Prosecutor is investigating the Guardit of Detroit Pistons Malik Beasley on the gambling accusations relating to the NBA games and support bets”, ” Shams Charania reports by Espn. This gambling would take place during the 2023-24 season, when Beasley was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Beasley, 28 years old, was one of the older names on the market of free agents this summer after making an average of 16.3 points per game while shooting 41.6% on 3 points for the Pistons last season. Charania reports that the Pistons and Beasley were discussing a new three -year contract and $ 42 million, but this is now waiting. No team will touch it even in the free agency, until this is resolved.

Beasley’s lawyer, Steve Haney, has released this statement to Espn:

“An investigation is not an accusation. In Malik he has the same right to the presumption of innocence as anyone else pursuant to the Constitution of the United States. Starting now he has not been accused of anything.”

While the NBA was to face ex Toronto Raptors Player Jontay Porter betting on games And overturning a game circuit to fix the bets on him – since then he has been banned for life by the League – Porter was unable to influence the result of the games. Beasley was. He played in 79 games for the dollars during the season in question, almost 30 minutes a night and scored on average 11.3 points per night as a spacer of floors next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Last season he played in all 82 games for the Pistons.

The pistons had been connected to multiple free agents this summer (they have or can create some space), which has a little more sense now if they knew what would happen with Beasley.
