Sprewell sues New York Post for $40 million over yacht injury story

Associated Press
Suspended New York Knicks player Latrell Sprewell‘s lawsuit names New York Post staff writer Marc Berman, who quoted two anonymous sources in an Oct. 4 story that said Sprewell was injured when he hit a wall while throwing a punch at a man whose girlfriend vomited aboard Sprewell’s yacht. “Those accounts are false and contributed to a breakdown in relations with the team, and contributed to the size of the fine,” says Sprewell’s agent. He claims Sprewell’s injury occurred when the player fell on the yacht.
