Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley was reportedly under a federal investigation over gambling allegations tied to NBA games and prop bets.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office is conducting the investigation into the NBA veteran, ESPN reported on Sunday. Fox News Digital reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.

Beasley’s lawyer, Steve Haney, spoke out about the reported investigation.

“An investigation is not a charge,” Haney told ESPN. “Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything.”

The allegations against Beasley were not immediately known.

“We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors’ investigation,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass told Fox News Digital.

The Pistons acknowledged there was an investigation ongoing but deferred further comment to the NBA.

Beasley played all 82 games for the Pistons last season, starting 18 of them. He averaged 16.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. It was his first season with Detroit and ESPN reported the two sides halted contract extension negotiations as the investigation was revealed.

He’s played nine seasons in the NBA, spending time with the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks.
