After graduating in 1996, Malik declared for the 1996 NBA Draft, and was selected by the Charlotte Hornets as the 44th overall pick, which marked the start of his professional career and his net worth. Unfortunately, after only one season he became a free agent. However, that turned out to be great for young Malik, since the San Antonio Spurs signed him and he stayed with the Spurs until 2005, during which time Malik’s salary grew from $272,250 to $5.5 million, which increased his net worth significantly. To speak of his performance, Malik didn’t see much playing time, but in the 2002-2003 season was of great help to his team with 10.4 points, and 6.4 rebounds in the regular season and 9.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in the play-offs to win the NBA Championship.

Unfortunately, after only 20 games for his new team, Malik was released by the club.
Malik finished his career with 5,003 points, 3,371 rebounds, and 684 assists. His jersey No. 00 was retired by Drexel University.
