Malik Beasley experiences another setback as he faces eviction due to unpaid rent totaling $21,000.
In the heart of Detroit, Michigan, NBA player Malik Beasley is currently navigating a storm of challenges that extend beyond the basketball court.
Despite a career earnings of nearly $60 million, Beasley has found himself entangled in a web of financial debts that exceed $8 million. This includes an eviction from his high-rise apartment in downtown Detroit due to unpaid rent totaling around $21,500 to $23,220. The eviction, which occurred on a Wednesday, was rubber-stamped by a judge after Beasley did not respond to the proceedings.
The eviction is just one of several legal battles Beasley is facing. He is also embroiled in lawsuits over unpaid debts with a marketing agency, a barber, a dentist, and a moneylender specializing in athlete loans.
The ongoing financial struggles come amidst an FBI investigation into possible betting-related offenses. The investigation, which is being conducted in conjunction with the NBA and the Eastern District of New York, is related to suspicious wagering activity noticed in Beasley's prop betting markets in certain games starting in January 2024. Despite the ongoing investigation, no charges have been filed against Beasley, and he maintains his presumption of innocence.
The investigation has had a significant impact on Beasley's professional life. The Detroit Pistons, his former team, withdrew a planned three-year, $42 million contract for Beasley due to the ongoing probe.
Despite the challenges, Beasley remains active on social media, posting about his readiness for the next season. On Wednesday, he posted, "My game will be better next season." This positive outlook indicates that Beasley is determined to return to the NBA, expressing readiness for whatever team comes knocking in the future.
