While the future of Malik Beasley’s basketball is still uncertain, its way back to the NBA should no longer be prevented by a federal investigation derived from alleged chance games linked to basketball games and support bets during the 2023-24 season.
On Friday, ESPN reported that Beasley is no longer a focus of the Eastern District in New York. The lawyers Steve Haney and Mike Schachter provided the update of the exit after declaring that they maintained multiple discussions with the Eastern District of New York.
