Free agent shooting guard Malik Beasley was evicted from his apartment in Detroit on Wednesday, writes David Purdum of ESPN.com, citing court records.
As Purdum 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 Purdum.
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.
The Pistons still hold Beasley’s Non-Bird rights, but at this point it’s unclear if or when he’ll play in the NBA again.
This is crazy
Milwaukee should sign Beasley
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

Dude is a freaking loser. He has made plenty to pay a $21k debt along with the 2m
Not if he’s a gambler he hasn’t. Or more important, If he’s a BAD gambler.
Everyone is a bad gambler. Especially the ones that tell you they are good at it 😳
Innocent until proven guilty and all, but this does not bode well for the gambling investigation.
Yea, because NBA didn’t fully legalize gambling and every other ad on any sports broadcast isn’t for sports gambling.
Shocking we are running into this issue!
What’s funny is he is looking for a contract now. He is being investigated for gambling issues. Considering his actions – it doesn’t look good.
And Pistons were about to give him a raise. Cause he had a good year. Pistons dodge one here.
This clown pulled a AR on some people in the Twin Cities who were on a parade of homes tour checking out a home in his area. Think they were in his driveway or turning around something like that.. But yeah he’s a bright bulb if there ever was one. Makes millions and cant pay rent????? When he was arrested for that in MN they found guns and weed everywhere. I bet he had money for weed over rent—–that’s how sharp this clown is.
