Malik Beasley could be back on a professional basketball court sooner than expected. Beasley was slated to be a free agent over the offseason last summer, but in June, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that he was being investigated by the United States District Attorney's office for alleged connections to gambling on NBA games and prop bet markets.
The exact nature of the allegations were unspecified, and to this point, Beasley has not been charged with any wrongdoing. In September, Beasley’s attorneys said he was no longer a target in the federal gambling probe, but because the NBA’s investigation remains ongoing, he is still not signed.
