NBA free agent Malik Beasley is under investigation by the U.S. District Attorney’s office regarding gambling allegations tied to league games, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The NBA is cooperating with the investigation, but Beasley's attorney stated that no charges have been filed. This comes after similar investigations involving other NBA players, including Jontay Porter, who was banned from the league, and Terry Rozier, who has not faced charges or sanctions. The investigation could affect Beasley's free agency, as the Detroit Pistons were reportedly interested in re-signing him. Beasley had a successful season with the Pistons, setting a franchise record for 3-pointers and helping them reach the playoffs. He averaged 16.3 points per game last season.
