Overview

  • Beasley has been under federal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York since January 2024 over alleged NBA gambling, a probe that paused his proposed three-year, $42 million Pistons contract.
  • He was evicted from his Detroit apartment after default judgments in two 2025 landlord lawsuits over $21,505 in unpaid rent.
  • Court records show he owes more than $8 million in combined debts and judgments, including claims by a marketing agency, a dentist’s wage garnishment and a barber’s judgment.
  • Attorney Steve Haney has underscored that Beasley has not been charged with any crime and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
  • On Snapchat, Beasley vowed to prove himself with a new “chip on my shoulder” and said he is staying prepared for a return whenever the probe is resolved.
