A former NBA player, Malik Beasley, has entered a not guilty plea to charges alleging he deliberately manipulated his on-court performance in 2024 to enrich sports bettors and settle his own financial obligations. His lawyer stated that Beasley "wants to move on with his life" following the arraignment.
Beasley, a prominent figure now embroiled in a sweeping federal gambling investigation, remained largely silent during his arraignment in Brooklyn federal court. He responded to the judge's inquiries with a simple "yes, your honor," while his attorney, Jason Goldman, formally entered the plea on his behalf.
