"Beasley left Hazan Sports in February 2025, in what the agency said in the suit was a violation of the contract. Hazan Sports said in the lawsuit that it attempted to recoup a $650,000 marketing advance from Beasley "but received little more than drips and drabs of sporadic payments and vague promises to repay the balance over time.""
"Judge Jeannette A. Vargas found Beasley liable for $1 million in damages plus interest to be paid to New York-based Hazan Sports Management, his former agency. Vargas wrote in the ruling that, despite ample warning, "no objections have been filed and no request for an extension of time to object has been made.""
"Beasley has played nine seasons in the NBA, including stints with the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons. He had a resurgent season in 2025 and appeared poised for a three-year contract reportedly worth $42 million with the Pistons, before his name surfaced in a federal gambling probe."
Federal Judge Jeannette A. Vargas issued a $1 million civil judgment against NBA free agent Malik Beasley in favor of Hazan Sports Management. Beasley left the agency in February 2025, violating his contract terms. Hazan Sports claimed Beasley received a $650,000 marketing advance but made only sporadic payments toward repayment. Beasley did not file objections or appear in court proceedings, with no attorney listed on the suit. The judgment comes amid Beasley's involvement in a federal gambling probe, though he has not been charged. Beasley recently signed with Puerto Rican team Santurce Crabbers.
