Malik Beasley spent part of the night on TikTok Live, selling game-worn, autographed jerseys while his NBA future hangs in the balance.
The former Detroit Pistons guard used the livestream to move memorabilia from his playing career, and clips shared by TheDunkCentral and MrBuckBuckNBA showed him promoting the items to viewers. Beasley also addressed concerns about whether the jerseys were legitimate, making sure to reassure fans about their authenticity.

At one point, when a Minnesota Timberwolves jersey came up, he said, “Ooh, I do have a T-Wolves jersey, but it’s for a boy. I need it.
I need it.” Another clip showed him still on the stream even as he looked worn down.
The timing of the livestream has drawn extra attention because Beasley is dealing with an ongoing federal gambling investigation. According to The Athletic, he has agreed to plead guilty, and a formal hearing is set for December 9, 2026, in Brooklyn. The case centers on allegations that player performance was manipulated for betting purposes during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2023-24 season.
The situation has already cost Beasley what could have been a major payday. He was reportedly in line for a three-year, $42 million contract with Detroit after finishing second in Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2025, but that deal never came together once the gambling allegations surfaced.
Beasley has already earned nearly $60 million in NBA salary over nine seasons, which only added to the reaction around the livestream and the questions it raised about his finances and his playing future.
For now, the jersey sales may be the headline on social media. But the bigger issue is still ahead of him, with his court appearance looming and his NBA career potentially on even shakier ground.

Daniss Jenkins Is Giving The Pistons A Tough New Decision
Daniss Jenkins has turned a strong start into one of the more interesting roster questions facing Detroit. The guard has given the Pistons steady production, averaging 12.7 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds while knocking down 43 percent of his 3-point attempts, and that kind of early impact tends to get noticed quickly in a league that is always looking for useful backcourt pieces.
The tricky part is what comes next. Jenkins is headed toward restricted free agency at seasons end, which gives Detroit control, but not necessarily an easy path to keeping him if the market gets involved or the cap picture tightens. The Pistons also have to weigh the progress of rookie Ebuka Okorie and the contract situation of Paul Reed, which means Jenkins rise may be forcing the front office to think several moves ahead.

Pistons Already Have One Early Reason To Feel Better About Collins
The Pistons decision to swap Tobias Harris out and John Collins in at power forward already looks easier to understand in early-season context. Harris, now 34, still has not played this season because of a calf strain, and it has only sharpened the questions that were already hanging over his durability as Detroit weighed its options in free agency.
Collins was never just about talent for the Pistons, either. The appeal was always tied to his availability and the flexibility of his contract, even with the age concern that comes with adding another veteran. For a team trying to stabilize that spot, simply having a player on the floor has been a useful early reminder of why Detroit made the move. [Read more 🡒]
Pistons Suddenly Face A Trade Deadline Decision Fans Can't Ignore
Detroits strong 7-3 start has changed the conversation around the franchise in a hurry. With a healthy stash of draft capital and expiring contracts in hand, the Pistons are in position to be more than patient observers ahead of the Feb. 11 trade deadline. They have put themselves in the mix in the Eastern Conference, and the front office now has to weigh whether to keep building organically or use those assets to accelerate the timeline.
The need is fairly clear: secondary scoring and frontcourt depth would both help a team trying to keep pace with Boston and Philadelphia. Names such as John Collins, Duncan Robinson and Naz Reid have already surfaced as possible fits, which tells you the market is starting to take shape around Detroits needs. The bigger question is how aggressive the Pistons want to be, because the right move could help them chase the top of the standings, while the wrong one could cost them the flexibility that got them here.
