Malik Beasley Sells Signed Jerseys on TikTok Before Entering Guilty Plea

Malik Beasley has been spotted on TikTok Live selling his autographed NBA jerseys as he prepares to plead guilty in his federal sports betting case.

During the Wednesday (November 11) livestream, the former professional basketball player wore his old Denver Nuggets jerseys while informing viewers of his plans to sign the merch. "Once you get it I will sign them myself and put your name on it," he said.

The 29-year-old also shared his apprehension to part with his Minnesota Timberwolves jersey four years after departing for the team. While a Timberwolves player, the athlete was suspended for 12 games after entering a guilty plea to a felony charge of making violent threats in 2021, per ESPN.

Beasley racked up more legal troubles in June when federal prosecutors in New York indicted him, along with five other men, including former NBA forward Ed Davis. The charges pertain to alleged sports betting, money laundering and wire fraud.

Prosecutors allege the co-defendants manipulated Beasley's statistics in four Milwaukee Bucks games during the 2023-24 season. The athlete reportedly joined the group after garnering "multimillion-dollar gambling losses," per ESPN.

Beasley initially pleaded not guilty before his attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN last month that his client will plead guilty for his role in a bribery and betting scheme in connection to his NBA play. Beasley was set to sign a three-year, $42 million contract with the Pistons before the investigation halted the deal, and effectively ended his NBA career.

Beasley is scheduled to enter his guilty plea on December 9 in a Brooklyn federal court.
