The New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers are reportedly interested in guard Malik Beasley.
After earlier reports of interest from the New York Knicks in sharpshooting NBA guard Malik Beasley, another championship contender has also shown interest.
According to NBA insider Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, both the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers have checked in on Malik Beasley.
"Knicks executive Gersson Rosas signed Beasley to a four-year, $60 million deal with the Timberwolves," Scotto added. "The Knicks and Cavaliers have minimum deals to offer. Beasley is no longer a target of a federal investigation."
The federal investigation, which began just as free agency started, previously derailed a planned three-year, $42 million deal with the Detroit Pistons. With the probe now concluded, Beasley emerges as a late-summer free agent.

Beasley had a standout 2024–25 season with Detroit, playing all 82 games and averaging 16.3 points per contest.
He made 319 three-pointers—the most in Pistons history and second-most in the NBA behind Anthony Edwards—and led the league in catch-and-shoot threes with 248, the highest single-season total since the stat was first tracked in 2013–14.
Beasley previously served a 12-game suspension in 2021 following a felony guilty plea in Minnesota, but he has since rebuilt his reputation on the court and established himself as one of the NBA's deadliest perimeter shooters.
