Prosecutors said three of the five remaining defendants in the case tied to former NBA guard Malik Beasley intend to plead guilty, while two others have not accepted plea deals. The case centers on conduct alleged to have taken place when Beasley was with the Milwaukee Bucks. Beasley’s lawyer said he does not currently plan to plead guilty and is still reviewing the evidence and possible defenses. Former NBA player Ed Davis also appeared at the hearing. Co-defendant William Brown has already pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors allege that Beasley and Davis agreed to alter Beasley’s individual statistical output across four games to reduce gambling debts, while other defendants used that information to place hundreds of thousands of dollars in bets. Trial is currently set to begin on May 17, 2027, according to Bitcoin.com News.
