Malik Beasley indicted on federal charges for ‘gambling related to sports betting scheme’

Malik Beasley has been under a federal investigation for almost a year related to sports gambling, and he was recently indicted on charges by prosecutors, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

“Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley has been indicted on federal charges for gambling related to a sports betting scheme, such as point shaving and prop bets, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN. The government is coordinating a voluntary surrender of Beasley this week,” Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Beasley was a subject of an FBI investigation that led to Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups being arrested in October 2025.

Beasley didn’t play in the NBA this past season while under investigation, but played for the Detroit Pistons a year before that. He averaged 16.3 points per game with the Pistons and became one of five players in NBA history to make 300 3-pointers in a season. They were set to offer him a three-year, $42 million contract, but pulled out after hearing about the investigation.

Just recently, Pistons president Trajan Langdon was asked about Beasley and if he’s had any interactions with him.

“In May, Langdon said the investigation was still ongoing and they hadn’t been in touch with Beasley about a reunion. A month later, nothing has changed. Langdon clarified he hasn’t talked to Beasley, who he said doesn’t have an agent,” Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press wrote.

At this point, it looks like Beasley will be missing another NBA season, and the rest of his playing career could be in doubt.
