当地时间周一,当局表示,前NBA球员马利克·比斯利和埃德·戴维斯在政府的博彩调查最新一批起诉名单中被起诉。
检方指控,比斯利2024年效力密尔沃基雄鹿队期间,曾同意根据比赛的博彩倾向调整自己的赛场表现。他们指控比斯利在NBA比赛前与戴维斯串通,决定自己应该在场上发挥失常还是超常,并称戴维斯在该计划中充当比斯利的“守门人”。
“此类涉及前NBA球员和一名利用NBA内部信息牟利的现役NBA球员经纪人的贿赂和内幕投注计划,损害了美国体育的公正性,并让体育观众成为受害者,”美国检察官小约瑟夫·诺切拉说道。
据纽约东区美国检察官办公室消息,除比斯利和戴维斯外,起诉书中还列出了四名同谋:威廉·布朗、罗伯特·戈罗德茨基、欧内斯特·普拉斯森西亚和保罗·萨莫拉诺。该办公室表示,萨莫拉诺是一名NBA球员经纪人。
检方称,六人全部被控共谋电信诈骗、体育比赛贿赂、诚实服务电信诈骗共谋以及洗钱共谋,罪名均与他们在该博彩计划中的所谓角色有关。该办公室表示,多名被告周一在美国不同地点被捕,每人都将在纽约接受传讯。
比斯利的律师目前未立即置评,戴维斯的律师身份也暂未公开。
诺切拉称,该计划涉及数十万美元。起诉书显示,2022年起就未再出战NBA的戴维斯也是投注比斯利赛场表现的人之一。
今年4月,49岁的前NBA球员达蒙·琼斯成为此次博彩清查行动中首个认罪的人,此次行动已逮捕包括据称的黑帮成员和其他篮球界人士在内的30多人。
琼斯承认两项共谋电信诈骗罪名,涉及他在诈骗包括DraftKings和FanDuel在内的大型体育博彩公司、从不知情的扑克玩家手中骗取数百万美元的计划中所扮演的角色。
琼斯称,他利用自己在NBA的人脉获取“内部信息”,以在体育博彩中占据优势。
比斯利上一次征战NBA是在2024-25赛季,效力底特律活塞队,场均得到16分。他是NBA历史上五位单赛季三分球命中数超过300个的球员之一——2024-25赛季他命中了319记三分,此后因卷入博彩调查再也未出战NBA赛事。今年早些时候,他曾短暂效力波多黎各的一支球队。
戴维斯是一名流浪球员,12年职业生涯中大多担任替补,先后效力8支球队,总薪资收入约4800万美元。他场均得到5.9分、6.4个篮板,最后一次出现在NBA赛场是2022年。
比斯利和戴维斯曾在2020-21赛季于明尼苏达短暂当过队友。
Ex-NBA players Malik Beasley, Ed Davis indicted on illegal sports gambling charges
June 29, 2026 / 11:18 AM EDT / CBS/AP
Former NBA players Malik Beasley and Ed Davis have been indicted in the latest round of charges in the government’s gambling investigation, authorities said Monday.
When he was playing for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2024, Beasley agreed to tailor his performance based on betting trends in those games, prosecutors alleged. They have accused Beasley of coordinating with Davis ahead of NBA games to decide whether he should underperform or overperform on the court. They alleged that Davis acted as Beasley’s “gatekeeper” in the scheme.
“Bribery and insider betting schemes like this one involving former NBA players and a current NBA player agent who exploited inside NBA information for profit erode the integrity of American sports and victimize the sports-watching public,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said.
Along with Beasely and Davis, the indictment charged four co-conspirators, identified as William Brown, Robert Gorodetsky, Ernesto Plascencia and Paolo Zamorano, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. Zamorano is an NBA player agent, the office said.
All six of them have been charged with wire fraud conspiracy, bribery in sporting contests, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, and money laundering conspiracy for their alleged roles in the gambling scheme, according to prosecutors. The office said several defendants were arrested Monday at different locations across the U.S., and each will be arraigned in New York.
Beasley’s attorney was not immediately available for comment. The identity of Davis’ lawyer was not immediately known.
Nocella said the scheme involved hundreds of thousands of dollars. Davis, who has been out of the NBA since 2022, was among those placing bets on Beasley’s performance, the indictment states.
In April, former NBA player Damon Jones, 49, became the first person to plead guilty in a gambling sweep that led to the arrests of more than 30 people, including reputed mobsters and other basketball figures.
Jones entered guilty pleas to two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for his role in schemes to defraud major sportsbooks, including DraftKings and FanDuel, and filch millions of dollars from unwitting poker players.
Jones said he used “insider information” through his relationships in the NBA to gain an edge in sports bets.
Beasley last played for the Detroit Pistons in the 2024-25 season, averaging 16 points. He is one of five players in NBA history with more than 300 3-pointers in a season; he made 319 in 2024-25 and has not played in the NBA since because of his involvement in the betting investigations. He played briefly for a team in Puerto Rico earlier this year.
Davis was a journeyman who was primarily a backup in his 12-year career that saw him play for eight different franchises and earn roughly $48 million in gross salary. He averaged 5.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game and last appeared in the NBA in 2022.
Beasley and Davis briefly were teammates in Minnesota in the 2020-21 season.
