Former National Basketball Association players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis have been indicted on gambling-related charges, U.S. prosecutors announced. The charges stem from an alleged scheme where Beasley, while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024, agreed to underperform or overperform in certain statistical categories in exchange for bribes. Prosecutors claim Davis then informed co-conspirators of Beasley's plans, allowing them to place hundreds of thousands of dollars in successful wagers. The indictment, returned in Brooklyn, names six individuals in total. This case is part of a broader investigation into sports integrity amid the expansion of legalized sports betting in the U.S.
