Malik Beasley has been selling autographed jerseys on TikTok Live as he awaits a plea hearing in his federal gambling case, scheduled for Dec. 9 in Brooklyn. A clip showed him wearing a Nuggets jersey and signing merchandise; the jerseys were described as game-worn but their game-use history was not independently verified. Beasley has agreed to plead guilty to federal charges stemming from an illegal sports gambling investigation, after initially pleading not guilty following his June indictment. The allegations involve manipulation of his performance while playing for the Bucks during the 2023-24 season. The livestream prompted social media speculation about his finances, though selling memorabilia does not establish his financial circumstances, and Beasley did not explain why he was selling the jerseys. He last played in the NBA for the Pistons in 2024-25, averaging 16.3 points across all 82 games and finishing second in Sixth Man of the Year voting; he was in line for a three-year, $42 million contract before the investigation interrupted those plans and did not play in the NBA last season.
