Former NBA player Malik Beasley is indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice alongside former player Ed Davis as part of a federal sports gambling investigation. Multiple outlets report the indictment alleges an illegal scheme in which Beasley allegedly agreed with Davis ahead of certain NBA games to influence his on-court performance for the benefit of bettors. According to the reports, the plan is described as aiming for Beasley to either underperform or overperform so that gamblers could win bets, with the alleged manipulation occurring across multiple games during the 2023–2024 season.

Several sources also say additional individuals are charged as co-conspirators. These include an NBA player agent, identified in one report as Paolo Zamorano, and others described as participants in the alleged betting and related conduct. Coverage also cites allegations beyond gambling itself, including claims tied to wire fraud and money laundering. The outlets characterize the matter as part of a broader DOJ probe into sports wagering and the alleged misuse of confidential information. The reporting reflects allegations contained in the indictment; it does not indicate guilt.
