NEW YORK (AP) — Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis have been indicted in the latest round of charges in the government’s gambling investigation, authorities said Monday.

When he was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024, Beasley agreed to tailor his performance based on betting trends in those games, prosecutors alleged.

“Bribery and insider betting schemes like this one involving former NBA players and a current NBA player agent who exploited inside NBA information for profit erode the integrity of American sports and victimize the sports-watching public,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said.

Nocella said the scheme involved hundreds of thousands of dollars. Six people were named in the indictment returned in Brooklyn.
