Malik Beasley could soon change his plea. The former NBA guard is in talks with federal prosecutors about a possible deal in the alleged bribery and betting scheme tied to his 2023-24 season with the Milwaukee Bucks, one of his attorneys confirmed Saturday.

A court docket notice posted overnight signals that Beasley intends to plead guilty, but nothing is final. His lawyer Steve Haney says no plea deal has been signed. Haney says talks with prosecutors are still going and a decision is expected early this week.

Beasley has not been convicted of any crime. The charges are allegations. He pleaded not guilty to every count after his June indictment. On Friday night the judge in the case asked a federal magistrate in Brooklyn to schedule a hearing where he could change that plea.

The case against him

The indictment centers on at least four Bucks games. Prosecutors allege Beasley pushed his own scoring and rebounding numbers up or down so bettors in on the plan could win prop bets on him. They say his co-defendants chose games that were not on national TV.

Prosecutors also say Beasley was carrying multimillion-dollar gambling losses at the time, even though he had earned tens of millions of dollars across nine NBA seasons with six teams.

The counts he faces are bribery in sporting contests, wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy.

When the charges were filed in June, Haney said in a statement: "An indictment is nothing but a probable cause one-sided charging document. It is not evidence and Malik maintains his presumption of innocence throughout this two-year investigation. We ask that people reserve judgment until all the facts are known."

Where the other defendants stand

Ernesto Plascencia, who got the same kind of plea-hearing order Friday, will plead guilty, according to his attorney. William Brown already pleaded guilty this month. Sports bettor Robert Gorodetsky is due to formally plead guilty on Nov. 20.

Ed Davis, a former NBA player who once played alongside Beasley in Minnesota, has pleaded not guilty. So has his former agent, Paolo Zamorano.
