The livestream comes as Beasley faces serious uncertainty following a federal investigation into an alleged gambling scheme. According to The Athletic, the guard has agreed to plead guilty, with a formal hearing scheduled for December 9, 2026, in Brooklyn. The case concerns alleged manipulation of player performance for betting purposes during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023-24 season.
