The gambling case attached to Malik Beasley continues to develop as a new twist puts the NBA guard back in law enforcement’s crosshairs. On Thursday, Shams Charania reported that Beasley was no longer a target in the gambling probe launched by the FBI.This led many to believe that Beasley had been cleared and he could return to being one of the NBA’s most reliable 3-point shooters. A new report from Front Office Sports states that while Beasley is no longer a “target,” he remains a “subject” of the investigation and could face charges.According to the report, Malik Beasley’s lawyers acknowledged that he could still face time in prison, as his conduct remains under review.Shortly after Charania’s report on Thursday, reports emerged suggesting that NBA teams had checked in on Malik Beasley, hoping to sign him. But after the latest development in his case, his chances of returning to the NBA may be affected.Gambling probe targeting Malik Beasley cost him $42 million deal from the Detroit PistonsHeading into the offseason, the Detroit Pistons had offered Malik Beasley a three-year, $42 million deal, which was taken off the table after the guard emerged as a target in the FBI’s gambling probe.While he remains a subject in the investigation, Beasley is no longer the primary target. This could be enough to attract offers from around the league, but he is unlikely to get a deal as lucrative as the one offered by the Pistons.After using their MLE to sign Caris LeVert, Detroit can only offer Beasley a salary in the range of $5 million to $7 million without affecting their cap space. Similarly, other teams around the league also cannot offer him a large deal, as most have already finalized their rosters at this stage of free agency.The ongoing investigation targeting the player has not only led to significant criticism on social media but also monetary loss for Beasley.He made 82 appearances for the Pistons last season, averaging 16.3 points and 2.6 rebounds, shooting 43%, including 41.6% from 3-point range. Beasley was expected to draw significant interest in free agency, but that has not been the case due to his legal issues.
