Plea Talks Advance
Former NBA player Malik Beasley is working toward a plea agreement with federal prosecutors regarding his alleged involvement in a bribery and betting operation. Court records show he plans to change his plea from not guilty. Discussions with lawyers are ongoing, with a decision expected soon.
Details of the Alleged Scheme
Prosecutors claim Beasley deliberately altered his statistics in at least four games during the 2023-24 season while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks. The games were chosen to avoid national broadcasts, allowing bettors to wager on whether he would exceed or fall short of set marks in scoring and rebounding. Despite earning tens of millions over his career spanning six teams and nine years, Beasley reportedly built up multimillion-dollar gambling losses that drew him into the arrangement.
