Malik Beasley was recently cleared in a federal gambling investigation after being indicted in an investigation for NBA prop bets during the 2023–24 season. As a result, teams are free to pursue him as a free agent. One team that is already harboring interest in the shooting guard is the New York Knicks. The Knicks could only offer Beasley a veteran minimum deal. As a result, there are plenty of other teams that could offer the former Florida State product more money. That includes the Detroit Pistons, who have retained Beasley’s Non-Bird rights. Still, the Knicks have three open roster spots and are only $3.7 million under their second-apron hard cap. The team has until early November to have 14 players on standard contracts.
