NBA free agent Malik Beasley is under federal investigation for gambling, his lawyer confirmed. The investigation by the U.S. District Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York is ongoing, with no charges filed. While Beasley is a person of interest, his lawyer emphasized the presumption of innocence. The investigation's connection to a separate case involving Toronto Raptors guard Jontay Porter, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy, is unclear. The NBA is cooperating with the investigation. Beasley, a strong 3-point shooter, recently finished a season with the Detroit Pistons and is currently an unrestricted free agent.
