Suspected of betting on football has been investigated! The big contract negotiations are forced to be suspended! Beasley destroys his future

As we all know, the NBA has never allowed active players to participate in any bets, which can be said to be an insurmountable red line in the league. Once anyone involved in the betting game is confirmed, what awaits him will be completely banned by the entire NBA! I believe everyone still remembers Jon Tayport, the last NBA banned for participating in football betting. Although he is just a two-way contract player struggling on the edge of the league, he is involved in a nearly one million dollar bet. However, Joan Tayport's bloody lessons did not alert all NBA players. Now, Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley has become another NBA player involved in a game-gambling turmoil!

According to ESPN's famous reporter Shams, the U.S. Attorney's Office is investigating Pistons player Malik Beasley's suspected participation in NBA games and single betting gambling activities. Subsequently, Pistons reporter Coty M. Davis also revealed that league sources confirmed that Malik Beasley is under investigation for betting. In addition, the Detroit Pistons official also acknowledged the matter and said that further comments will be handed over to the league official.

And according to Shams, the game in which Malik Beasley was investigated occurred during the 2023-24 season. At that time, Beasley played for the Milwaukee Bucks, and he averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season. It is no exaggeration to say that the situation has developed to this point, which has made people feel trembling for Malik Beasley! Because once the bet is investigated and confirmed, his NBA career will be almost completely finished.

According to NBA sources, Malik Beasley is currently in in-depth negotiations with the Pistons on a three-year, $42 million contract extension. But as the Malik Beasley football betting investigation fermented, negotiations on the renewal contract have been forced to be suspended.

In the 2024-25 season, Beasley played 82 regular season games for the Pistons, averaging 16.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 breaks and 0.1 caps per game, shooting percentage of 43%, three-point shooting percentage as high as 41.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 67.9%. The season has a total of 319 three-pointers ranked second in the league, second only to Edwards' 320 three-pointers. In the six playoff games, he averaged 14 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.5 breaks and 0.2 caps per game, shooting percentage of 37.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 100%.

There is no doubt that Malik Beasley would have very good career development prospects at the Pistons. But as he is now deeply involved in the negative impact of the betting storm, this instantly makes his prospects at the Pistons dim! If he is finally confirmed to participate in the betting game, he will not only not get the Pistons' contract extension, but he will even spend the entire NBA career.
