Since the departure of Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor from ESPN, Malika Andrews at has become one of the most prominent faces of in-studio commentary regarding the NBA. After making her highly publicized debut with the "World Wide Leader" as a sideline reporter during the infamous "Bubble Season," Malika became the host of NBA Today. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the 32-year-old became engaged to her co-worker and fellow NBA reporter, Dave McMenamin. Unfortunately for the couple, they have recently encountered outside turbulence.
According to reports, Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin have been the subject of intimidation from a serial harasser from New Jersey named Ahmed Abubakar. Ahmed has become such a threat to ESPN personnel that he was previously arrested for showing up at Molly Qerim's house. The 41-year-old even showed up to the ESPN lot in Los Angeles, California, in an attempt to confront Stephen A. Smith.
Additionally, Ahmed Abubakar somehow managed to procure Malika Andrews' phone number last September before sending her threatening messages. Therefore, Malika Andrews has officially requested a restraining order mandating that he stays at least 100 yards away from her, Dave McMenamin and Stephen A. Smith.
