Pistons Malik Beasley Faces FBI Probe, $8M Debt Lawsuits

News summary

Malik Beasley, a free agent NBA player formerly with the Detroit Pistons, is facing an FBI investigation into allegations of wire fraud, gambling, and prop bets during the 2023-24 season. Court records reveal Beasley has over $8 million in financial problems, including lawsuits from a marketing firm seeking $2.25 million for breach of contract, a landlord for unpaid rent, a celebrity barber, a dentist, and a lender. Beasley's pending three-year, $42 million contract with the Pistons has been put on hold amid the investigation. Reports also indicate that part of Beasley's Pistons paycheck has been seized to cover some debts. While Beasley has not been charged with any crime yet, the unusual betting activity on his game performances has drawn scrutiny from sportsbooks and federal authorities. The situation jeopardizes Beasley's NBA future as the Pistons and the league cooperate with the investigation.
