Malik Beasley Faces More Troubles: Owed $21,000 in Overdue Rent Leads to Eviction
In a surprising turn of events, NBA player Malik Beasley has been evicted from his high-rise apartment in Detroit after failing to pay $21,505 in rent. This eviction comes after two separate lawsuits filed by his landlord in Michigan's 36th District Court, following a non-response to the first lawsuit which was dismissed in March.
Despite these financial troubles, Beasley remains active on social media, expressing optimism for next season and readiness for any potential new team.
Beasley's financial woes extend beyond the eviction. He is entangled in several lawsuits, including one from his former marketing agency, Hazan Sports Management Group, seeking repayment of a $650,000 advance. He also owes significant amounts to a celebrity barber, a dentist, and a lender specializing in loans for professional athletes. These debts reportedly total over $8 million.
The U.S. District Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York is currently investigating Beasley for allegedly gambling on NBA games and prop bets during the 2023-24 season while playing with the Milwaukee Bucks. As of August 2025, Beasley has not been charged with any crime. The ongoing investigation has stalled contract negotiations for a three-year, $42 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, following a strong 2024-25 season where he averaged 16.3 points per game and helped Detroit reach the playoffs.
Beasley's attorney has emphasized his presumption of innocence and clarified that the investigation is not a charge. However, his criminal history, including a felony charge related to threats of violence in 2020, and subsequent 78-day jail sentence, have added to the concerns surrounding his future prospects in the NBA.
Suspicious wagering activity was noticed in Beasley's prop betting markets in certain games starting in January 2024, further fueling the investigation. The investigation, initiated in June 2025, has cast a shadow over Beasley's career, leaving many wondering about his future in the league.
