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.
