• Former NBA guard Malik Beasley was evicted from a luxury Detroit apartment after failing to pay $21,500 in rent.
• The eviction coincides with a federal gambling probe, stalled contract talks, and multiple financial lawsuits.
• Beasley’s future in professional basketball remains uncertain as legal troubles overshadow his recent on-court success.

DETROIT, MI (TDR) — Former NBA standout Malik Beasley has been evicted from his downtown Detroit residence, marking another setback in a year already mired by legal battles, financial strain, and a high-profile federal investigation. The action took place Wednesday following a ruling by Michigan’s 36th District Court, according to The Detroit News.

The 27-year-old shooting guard had been residing at The Stott, a historic high-rise property owned by Bedrock Detroit, the real estate arm of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert. Court filings reveal that Beasley’s landlord initiated two separate lawsuits over unpaid rent totaling $21,500. After failing to respond to the second suit, the court entered a default judgment, paving the way for his removal from the property.

Legal and Financial Pressures Mount

The eviction is just one in a series of mounting troubles for the former first-round pick. Beasley is also facing litigation from his former sports agency, which alleges he defaulted on a loan agreement. Compounding matters, court documents show his wages have been garnished to satisfy outstanding dental bills — a sign of financial instability for a player once on the verge of a lucrative contract.

More damaging, however, is the ongoing gambling investigation into alleged betting activity connected to NBA contests. While Beasley has not been charged with a crime, the inquiry has had a chilling effect on his career prospects. Negotiations over a reported three-year, $42 million deal with the Detroit Pistons collapsed after the inquiry became public, leaving his free agency in limbo.

“It’s been a long year, but I’ll keep fighting,” Beasley remarked in a recent social media video, hinting at frustration with both the legal process and media speculation.

From Career Highs to Crisis

On the court, Beasley is coming off one of his strongest professional seasons, averaging 16.3 points per game and shooting 41.6 percent from beyond the arc. Those numbers suggested a promising second act for a player who has already weathered earlier controversies. Yet, as one league insider noted, “No team wants to commit major money while the cloud of a federal investigation hangs overhead.”

Beasley’s case underscores the precarious balance professional athletes must maintain between their public careers and private challenges. In the span of months, he has gone from being a high-value free agent to a cautionary tale about the cascading effect of off-court troubles.

Is this the fall of a once-promising NBA career, or can Beasley rewrite his story before it’s too late?
