The NBA is conducting its own probe into gambling allegations involving Malik Beasley, the free-agent guard investigated by federal officials earlier this year, league commissioner Adam Silver confirmed on Wednesday.
"I'll only say the investigation is ongoing," Silver said after the NBA's board of governors meeting in New York.
"As I understand it, there's still a federal investigation that's ongoing of Malik Beasley as well," Silver said. "We will address whatever is presented to us in his case."
ESPN, citing Beasley's attorney Steve Haney, had reported earlier Wednesday that the player was "fully cooperating" with the National Basketball Association's investigation.
ESPN reported the probe stemmed from allegations of improper gambling on NBA games and prop bets from the 2023-24 seas
