Duncan Robinson reacts to Detroit Pistons trade, what he sees on roster
Duncan Robinson reacts to joining the Detroit Pistons in free agency sign-and-trade from Miami Heat, Sunday, July 13, 2025 in Las Vegas.
Former Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is still under a federal investigation for alleged involvement in a gambling scandal dating back to his time with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The investigation relates to a surge in bets involving Beasley during a Bucks game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Jan. 31, 2024.
Though Beasley has not been charged with any crime, many questions remain about Beasley’s potential involvement, the extent of the incident and whether Beasley could have been involved in other gambling-related incidents.
So sports journalist Pablo Torre dove deeper into the story.
In the most recent episode of the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast released on Tuesday, July 15, Torre is joined by Yahoo NBA insider Tom Haberstroh and former NBA executive Amin Elhassan to discuss new findings surrounding gambling incidents related to former Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Beasley.
The findings revolve around Mustafa Omar, an NBA fan who posted on “X” about Beasley’s involvement with gambling months before the investigation was launched. The episode weaves through stories with actor Denzel Washington, Larsa Pippen and former NBA star Carmelo Anthony, while providing an analytical investigation of Beasley’s typical late-game performance.
Though the episode doesn’t reveal new information about the federal investigation or Beasley’s other recently discovered financial troubles, it’s an episode Pistons fans might find enlightening (or at least entertaining), especially with the report that the Pistons were “blindsided” about the investigation while preparing to offer Beasley a three-year, $42 million contract.
The full “Pablo Torre Finds Out” episode can be found on YouTube and on typical podcast platforms.
