Former NBA guard Malik Beasley, a former Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves player, has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges tied to a sports‑betting and bribery scheme. Indicted in June 2026 alongside ex‑player Ed Davis, Beasley will enter his plea on Dec. 9, 2026 in Brooklyn. Prosecutors allege he deliberately underperformed in four games (Cavaliers, Hornets, Clippers, Nets) during the 2023‑24 season to affect proposition bets, with Davis reportedly loaning him money for the plot. The scandal ended Beasley’s NBA run; Detroit withdrew a $42 million contract after learning of the investigation. The case also involves four other defendants.
