NBA Player Malik Beasley Evicted as Feds Investigate Alleged Game Fixing

Malik Beasley, a 28-year-old NBA free agent, faced eviction from his downtown Detroit residence at The Stott on August 6, 2025, amidst escalating financial difficulties and a federal investigation into gambling. This eviction follows two lawsuits initiated by his landlord this year, claiming Beasley owed $21,500 in rent. The second suit, totaling $7,355, resulted in a default judgment due to Beasley's lack of response, leading to his removal from the premises. This episode compounds the former Detroit Pistons guard's ongoing challenges, with his career and finances drawing significant attention. Earning nearly $60 million over his nine-year NBA tenure, Beasley is burdened with over $8 million in debts, including numerous unpaid loans and a $650,000 advance from Hazan Sports Management. Additionally, he is under scrutiny for alleged gambling linked to NBA games during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks. His situation starkly highlights the pressures athletes face, as mismanagement and legal affairs can overshadow substantial earnings.
