Former NBA player Malik Beasley is negotiating a plea agreement with the Department of Justice after initially pleading not guilty to charges of altering his play in 2024 to benefit sports bettors and ease his debts. Beasley entered a not guilty plea in July in New York federal court. His attorney said Saturday that they expect an agreement soon. Beasley and sports agent Paolo Zamorano are among six people charged in a gambling scandal involving over three dozen arrests. Beasley is accused of fixing his performance in at least four games while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024.

The NBA has told sportsbooks about new restrictions on certain types of wagers for the upcoming season. These include bets on which player records the first stat of a game and the outcome of the opening tip. The league also requires players, coaches, and staff to attend in-person training on sports betting rules. The changes follow betting scandals that led to arrests of former NBA figures. Additionally, the NBA has developed an AI-based platform to monitor unusual betting activity and has upgraded protections against harassment from sports bettors.
Las Vegas officials have identified a homicide victim whose remains were found in a rusted barrel on a Lake Mead shore after the lake’s level was depleted amid drought. Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse identified the victim Thursday as Edward Lelburian Jackson, who was from Arkansas and in his mid- to late 50s when he died. The discovery by boaters in 2022 sparked memories of the nearby city’s mob era, which ended in the mid-1980s. Organized crime helped build up Las Vegas, and a body stuffed in a barrel was known to signify a mob killing. But officials say they do not have information to support theories that the man’s death was mob-related.
