Malik Beasley Set to Plead Guilty to Federal NBA Gambling Charges

Former NBA guard Malik Beasley is scheduled to change his plea to guilty at a Dec. 9 federal hearing in Brooklyn regarding an illegal sports gambling scheme. Indicted alongside Ed Davis, Beasley is accused of manipulating his on-court performance during the 2023-24 season with the Milwaukee Bucks to settle gambling debts. Beasley, who averaged 16.3 points per game for the Detroit Pistons in 2024-25, remains unsigned as federal and league investigations continue into the scheme.
