Former NBA players Malik Beasley, Ed Davis are latest to be charged in gambling
scandal
NEW YORK (AP) --- Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis have been
indicted in the latest round of charges in the government's gambling
investigation, authorities said Monday.
When he was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024, Beasley agreed to tailor
his performance based on betting trends in those games, prosecutors alleged.
"Bribery and insider betting schemes like this one involving former NBA players
and a current NBA player agent who exploited inside NBA information for profit
erode the integrity of American sports and victimize the sports-watching
public," U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said.
Nocella said the scheme involved hundreds of thousands of dollars. Six people
were named in the indictment returned in Brooklyn.
