NEW YORK (AP) — Federal investigators no longer consider NBA free agent Malik Beasley a target in their gambling probe, Beasley’s attorneys told ESPN.
Attorneys Steve Haney and Mike Schachter said they’ve had what the report called “extensive” conversations and meetings with Eastern District of New York authorities.
“Months after this investigation commenced, Malik remains uncharged and is not the target of this investigation,” Haney told ESPN. “An allegation with no charge, indictment or conviction should never have the catastrophic consequence this has caused Malik. This has literally been the opposite of the presumption of innocence.”
Lawyers for Beasley didn’t immediately respond to emails and phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment, and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn declined to comment.
The AP reported in late June that Beasley was under investigation, coming 14 months after the NBA banned Toronto’s Jontay Porter after he was linked to a prop-bet investigation. Porter eventually pleaded guilty to committing wire fraud.

It's finally here.
The 2025 college football season has begun.
As a bookie, your betting clients can choose to stick with the point spread or moneyline for the outcome of the game. However, that’s just the beginning of the choices you can offer your clients with our football betting software. You can also offer the opportunity to bet whether the teams will go over or under the combined point total that you set.

- passing yards by either team
- rushing yards by either team
- interceptions were thrown by either quarterback
- which team will score first?
- which team will turn the ball over first?
These Pay Per Head prop betting options can get even more diverse when you offer action on such major games as the College Football Playoff championship game or the Super Bowl. There are as many props available for those games as you can imagine, or even more.
Some of the more unusual props that have popped up in recent years include:
- the length of time it will take the performer(s) to complete the national anthem before the game
- which songs the band(s) performing at halftime will perform
- whether the game announcers will use specific terms that are specific to the matchup
- which coach (in the NFL) will issue the first challenge of an official’s call
