Free agent shooting guard Malik Beasley was evicted from his apartment in Detroit on Wednesday, writes David Perdum of ESPN.com, citing court records.
As Perdum details, Beasley was sued two times by his landlord earlier this year for a total of $21,505 in unpaid rent. The first lawsuit was dismissed in March, but the 36th District Court in Michigan issued an eviction order in the second case after Beasley failed to respond.
Beasley’s social media accounts indicate that he has been traveling in Europe this summer, according to Perdum.
To put it mildly, it has been a tumultuous offseason for Beasley, who was expected to land a significant payday as a free agent after finishing third in the NBA in three-pointers made (3.9) and fourth in three-point attempts per game (9.3) last season. He knocked down a career-high 41.6% of his long-range looks in 2024/25 while appearing in all 82 regular season contests for the Pistons.
In addition to his eviction, Beasley is under federal investigation for allegedly gambling on NBA games during the 2023/24 season, when he was a member of the Bucks. He’s also being sued by his former marketing agency, Hazan Sports Management Group, which is seeking $2.25MM in damages and legal fees for breach of contract.
On July 1, The Detroit News detailed some of the 28-year-old’s other financial difficulties in recent years.
This is crazy
Traveling in Europe when you are this far in debt is certainly a choice.
Avoiding the debt or more likely avoiding the feds that are after him
Now this a guy with a to do list.
1. Screw landlord
2. Screw agent
3. Kill career gambling
4. Make sure passport is up to date
5. And I’m just assuming this- Hire lawyer and screw him too
Now that’s a list
Sad
Dude is a freaking loser. He has made plenty to pay a $21k debt along with the 2m
Sh!tb!rd
