The NBA is cooperating with a federal investigation into Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley, NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement.

The Pistons also said they are aware of the investigation but did not have any further information.

The details of the probe were not immediately clear.

Beasley, who played last season with the Pistons, is a free agent. It is unclear how the investigation will affect his prospects.

Steven A. Haney, Beasley’s attorney, emphasized in a statement that the investigation is not an indictment or a criminal charge and that Beasley has not been charged with any wrongdoing.

Beasley “is afforded the presumption of innocence like anybody else,” Haney said.

Beasley has played on a number of NBA teams, including the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Utah Jazz, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets.
