NBA player Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for gambling allegations related to unusual betting patterns on his statistics during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks in January 2024. While not charged, the investigation involves a prominent sportsbook detecting unusually heavy betting on Beasley's performance. The NBA is cooperating with authorities. This follows a similar case last year involving Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter, who received a lifetime ban for gambling violations. The incident highlights growing concerns about the impact of legalized gambling on professional sports.
