Beasley’s lawyer Steve Haney spoke about the reported investigation.
“The investigation is not a fee,” Haney said. I told ESPN. “Malik is given the same right to presumed crime as anyone else in the US Constitution. For now, he has not been charged with anything.”
The allegations against Beasley were not immediately known.

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