Malik Beasley Evicted From Detroit Apartment During Federal Gambling Probe

Under federal investigation, the guard remains unsigned after the Pistons pulled a three-year, $42 million deal.

Overview

  • A U.S. District Attorney’s Office probe opened in June is examining Beasley’s alleged NBA game and prop betting, though he has not been charged.
  • NBA teams have declined to sign him since Detroit withdrew its three-year, $42 million contract offer just ahead of free agency.
  • On August 7, Beasley was evicted from his downtown Detroit high-rise after default judgments in two landlord lawsuits over $21,500 in unpaid rent.
  • Court filings show he also faces lawsuits for unpaid agency advances, medical bills and wage garnishments, with judgments totaling over $8 million.
  • Attorney Steve Haney has stressed his client’s presumption of innocence as Beasley vows on Snapchat to return stronger and prove he belongs in the league.
