NBA free agent Malik Beasley is under investigation by the U.S. District Attorney's office regarding gambling allegations tied to league games, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment on the matter.
"We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors' investigation," NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement released to the AP and other outlets on Sunday.
ESPN was the first to report on the investigation.
"There have been no charges against Malik," Steve Haney, Beasley's attorney, told the AP. "It's just an investigation at this point. We hope people reserve judgement until he's charged - or if he's charged. It's not uncommon for there to be a federal investigation."
