Malik Beasley, a free agent shooting guard, is facing legal challenges as the Hazan Sports Management Group has filed a lawsuit against him, claiming he breached a marketing contract. The lawsuit was initiated just before Beasley participated in the playoffs with the Detroit Pistons against the New York Knicks. The agency is seeking $1 million in damages and an additional $650,000 in advance payments and commissions.

Aside from his legal woes, Beasley is under federal scrutiny for gambling allegations linked to NBA games. His attorney urges caution, suggesting that many clients under investigation never face charges. This comes in the wake of previous NBA cases involving players like Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier, who faced scrutiny for their gambling activities. Beasley, who had a strong season by setting franchise records for three-pointers and helping the Pistons reach the playoffs, hopes to secure a lucrative contract as a free agent this summer.
