The first case was dismissed in March, but in the second \u2014 involving <strong data-start=\"538\" data-end=\"548\">$7,355<\/strong> \u2014 the court issued an eviction order after Beasley failed to respond. He had no attorney listed in the eviction case. <strong data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"682\">Steve Haney<\/strong>, Beasley\u2019s lawyer in the gambling probe, confirmed he is not handling the eviction matter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"1252\">Recent social media posts suggest Beasley has been traveling in Europe. The 28-year-old is the third NBA player in the past 18 months to be investigated by the <strong data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"969\">Eastern District of New York<\/strong> for gambling-related allegations. The claims relate to the <strong data-start=\"1029\" data-end=\"1047\">2023\u201324 season<\/strong>, when Beasley played for the <strong data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1096\">Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong>. He has not been criminally charged. \u201cAn investigation is not a charge,\u201d Haney told ESPN previously. \u201cMalik is entitled to the presumption of innocence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1254\" data-end=\"1536\">Beasley was coming off a strong season with the <strong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1321\">Detroit Pistons<\/strong> and had been in talks for a <strong data-start=\"1350\" data-end=\"1377\">three-year, $42 million<\/strong> contract, according to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania, though negotiations are now on hold. Over his nine-year NBA career, Beasley has earned nearly <strong data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1533\">$60 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1837\">He also faces a lawsuit from his former marketing agency, <strong data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1623\">Hazan Sports Management<\/strong>, which claims he has failed to repay a <strong data-start=\"1663\" data-end=\"1675\">$650,000<\/strong> advance. Additionally, The Detroit News reported in July that Beasley owes money to a celebrity barber, a dentist, and a bridge-loan provider for pro athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA free agent Malik Beasley, currently under federal investigation for alleged gambling violations, was evicted from his Detroit high-rise apartment on Wednesday, according to court records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":454768,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[399],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-454767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/Malik_Beasley_Nuggets_cropped.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454767"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=454767"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=454767"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=454767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
