Former NBA star Malik Beasley pleads not guilty in gambling scandal
NBA player Malik Beasley entered a not guilty plea at an arraignment in his gambling case on Wednesday and his attorney made it clear they’re going toclear his name.
The former Detroit Pistons guard went before a judge in a New York courtroom where he was officially informed of his charges,conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bribery in sporting contests.
Beasley, ex-NBA player Ed Davis, and others are accused of working together to place bets on his performances when he was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023-24 season.
Officials claim Beasley would notify Davis of how he would perform prior to games … and the group would place substantial wagers based on that information.
As Beasley and his legal team left the courthouse, Jason Goldman claimed there’s much more to the story. Beasley who hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2024-25 season is due back in court next month.
