2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

The details will come out. With the behavior we’ve seen around sports teams the thought that it happened a lot and nothing was done wouldn’t surprise me at all.

 

right; i think i know what slick was implying, and i'm almost positive it's way off base.

 

Yeah but was she being forced to work with this kid after exposing himself? I'm confused

 

Right...and how are the Spurs some kind of " good guy" in this situation? They only released him after she filed a lawsuit, or threatened to do so?I need more details.

 

I understood the kid, I mean, really, who would have thought that exposing yourself to the team psychologist would be an issue?

 

Lol..especially if he got away with it 8 times in a row.

 

No worries, the Nets will take him...

 

I like Harrison Barnes and it wouldn't shock me if Sac would trade him now however what we have to offer makes no sense to them. And the fact that it's all expiring matters not as so is Barnes. Nunn and Beverley are PGs and they have Fox and are said to be high on their rookie PG Mitchell so what's the attraction for them?

 

What he did was awful but from a basketball perspective I would want him on the Lakers. He’s exactly what this team needs and is a great young 3 and D wing player

 

What's his cap figure? He's not even listed on Charlotte's roster. Abeer?

 

I’ll pass on all these guys.

 

I can’t rule that out. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time someone felt like they had to keep working in a bad situation and/or accept bad behavior. Particularly with women in sports.

 

Charlotte didn't rescind his qualifying offer I see. He'll be back on their team before the season is over.

 

I'm not buying that, especially not in Texas, after the Watson situation in Houston. Something doesn't sound right here. I need more details on this one. It really sounds incredible, that the Spurs organization would ignore something like this for almost a year.

 

Why not? If there was nothing to it they wouldn’t wave him IMO. I’m sure they conducted their own investigation and if it was some kind of accident he’d still be on the team.

Just don’t think you get rid of a guy who was clearly in your future plans like this if there was nothing to it.

something 100% happened and it was bad.

As far as the Spurs organization, I guess I just don’t put anything past anyone. If there’s nothing to this we will know soon enough.

 

says cha let his QO expire but somehow hes still restricted

Idk....they waived the player, but the GM is in the clear? Like you said...I'll wait for more details.


Former San Antonio Spurs psychologist Hillary Cauthen is suing the Spurs and the team’s 2021 No. 12 draft pick Josh Primo over alleged incidents involving indecent exposure by Primo, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Bexar County, Texas.

Cauthen will also file a criminal complaint against Primo for “multiple counts of indecent exposure,” her attorney Tony Buzbee said Thursday during a news conference in Houston.

“We expect them to prosecute,” Buzbee said.

Cauthen was hired under contract by the Spurs in September 2021. According to the suit, Primo exposed himself nine times in front of Cauthen, beginning in December 2021.

“I’m a clinical sports psychologist; I’m a mother of four wonderful daughters. I’m a woman, and I am a victim,” Cauthen said Thursday.

According to the suit, Cauthen first raised her concerns over Primo’s conduct with Spurs GM Brian Wright in January 2022. Cauthen had her first meeting with Wright on March 21 and continued to voice her concerns about Primo, expressing to Wright that she felt uncomfortable meeting with Primo alone, the lawsuit says.

After the meeting with Wright, Cauthen alleges that she continued to be called upon to visit Primo. Cauthen met with Wright again in April to express her frustration and concern that no action had been taken, according to the lawsuit. Wright asked Cauthen “what consequence” she wanted to occur, and Cauthen responded that she felt it was up to the team to address the situation, the suit says. Wright then informed her that the organization’s legal team would be in contact with her.

According to the lawsuit, in May, Cauthen met multiple times with lawyers from the Spurs organization, including its deputy general counsel and as well as the chief legal officer and general counsel, and was promised an investigation would occur. At this time, Cauthen was instructed to avoid contact with Primo and was told that the team was preparing a “write-up.”

A week or more later, after requesting an update on the status of the investigation, deputy general counsel Brandon James and head of human resources Kara Allen told Cauthen that Primo would continue to participate in team activities and suggested Cauthen work from home, according to the suit.

In June, James and Allen disclosed that they had spoken with Primo, the lawsuit says, and suggested setting up a conversation with Primo to address his behavior. Cauthen refused.

At a meeting later in June, James and Allen informed Cauthen that the franchise was considering a “corrective process for the timely reporting of incidents.” They also informed Cauthen that head coach Gregg Popovich “was aware of her complaints and accusations and that he ‘wanted to do right by her.’ ”

Later on Thursday, Spurs Sports & Entertainment CEO R.C. Buford released a statement, that read in part: “We disagree with the accuracy of facts, details and timeline presented today. While we would like to share more information, we will allow the legal process to play out.”

The Spurs waived Primo last week after he had played just four games with the team this season.

William J. Briggs, II, attorney for Primo, issued a statement Thursday, defending the accusations against his client.

“Josh Primo is a 19-year-old NBA player who has suffered a lifetime of trauma and challenges,” Briggs said. “He is now being victimized by his former team-appointed sports psychologist, who is playing to ugly stereotypes and racially charged fears for her own financial benefit.”

The statement went on to deny the accusations that Primo exposed himself, calling them “a complete fabrication, a gross embellishment or utter fantasy. Josh Primo never intentionally exposed himself to her or anyone else and was not even aware that his private parts were visible outside of his workout shorts.”
