Ex-NBA Veterans Face Federal Indictment in Illegal Sports-Gambling Case
Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis were indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of New York on sports-bribery and related charges tied to an alleged group betting scheme. Prosecutors say Beasley and Davis collaborated to manipulate Beasley’s on-court performance four times during the 2023-24 season with the Milwaukee Bucks, beginning around the Jan. 26, 2024 Bucks–Cavaliers game, amid Beasley’s rising gambling debt and a loan from Davis. The indictment names Davis’s former NBA agent Paolo Zamorano and others as part of the betting group that allegedly wagered tens of thousands of dollars on Beasley’s outcomes. Separately, Terry Rozier faces related charges in the broader probe, with a trial set for Feb. 8, 2027; the case is part of a wider federal investigation into illegal sports gambling and insider information trading in basketball.
