Active players also went bankrupt? The Lakers former player was kicked out of the house due to rent, suspected of gambling may ruin their careers

On August 8, NBA active player Malik Beasley was in trouble again. He was prosecuted for owing $21,500 and was kicked out of the apartment. He was involved in multiple debt disputes and was suspected of betting on football. He was investigated by the FBI. Off-court troubles are constantly ruining his NBA career. According to the Detroit Times, Malik Beasley was sued twice in 2025 for not paying $21,500 in rent and was eventually kicked out of his upscale apartment in downtown Detroit, "The Stott." According to the court's judgment, since he did not appear in court to respond to the second lease dispute, the court made a decision in absentia and formally executed the eviction process.

Bisley is still in a number of debt disputes - he owed $650,000 to the marketing company he had previously cooperated with, owed about $27,000 to a barber, and owed more than $34,000 to a dentist, so the court ruled to force a deduction from his salary. In addition, he was sentenced to pay about $5.8 million in compensation for a profit advance dispute with lending institutions.

What's more serious is that Beasley is suspected of being involved in the NBA football betting case and is currently under investigation by the FBI. Although he has not been formally prosecuted, this has affected his career. It is reported that the Pistons originally planned to give him a new contract of $42 million for three years, but because Beasley is suspected of betting on football, the Pistons urgently withdrew the contract renewal.

Jountae Porter was banned from the NBA for suspected betting on football and may face imprisonment; if Beasley really bet on football, his career may end there.

28-year-old Beasley was the No. 19 pick in the first round of 2016. He signed a four-year, $60 million fat contract with the Timberwolves in 2020. He was traded to the Jazz and Lakers in the 22-23 season. In the 2023 offseason, the Lakers refused to implement their $16.52 million team option. He then joined the Bucks for a year and a $2.7 million base salary, and joined the Pistons in July 2024. He missed a $42 million contract renewal this summer due to suspected betting on football, and is currently in an unemployed state.

Previously, Beasley said bluntly during a live broadcast: Some people in the media said something inexplicable, and some people pointed at me. But I tell you, I feel a little nervous and am ready to defeat any opponent in front of me. I want to prove myself in this alliance again.

So far in his career, Beasley has played for the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Jazz, Lakers, Bucks and Pistons, playing 578 regular season games, averaging 11.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, making 2.5 three-pointers per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%.
