Malik Beasley, the former Detroit Pistons guard, finds himself embroiled in multiple off-court challenges this offseason. Initially in discussions for a substantial three-year, $42 million contract, these plans are now jeopardized amid a federal investigation into his gambling activities. Beasley, coming off a mere $6 million contract, has become a free agent amid financial scrutiny.

Recent court records reveal he made substantial payments exceeding $60,000 to a Milwaukee barbershop and dentist following legal disputes over unpaid loans. Both businesses had previously sued him for non-payment, leading to wage garnishments by the Pistons. Adding to his woes, Beasley also faces a lawsuit from a property management company for unpaid rent and another from his former agency over a significant breach of contract involving a $650,000 advance. This marks another tumultuous chapter in Beasley’s career, which was already shadowed by a past suspension for felony gun charges.
