Rich Paul Litigation
In August 2021, Nerlens filed a lawsuit against sports agent Rich Paul. In the lawsuit, Nelence claims that in 2017 Rich Paul persuaded him to turn down a $70 million offer from the Mavs and leave his longtime sports agent. Under Paul, he was allegedly advised to accept a $4 million a year deal so he could hit the market next year for $100 million. Unfortunately, Nerlens suffered an injury the following season, tearing a ligament in his thumb, causing him to miss 42 games. Nerlens’ lawsuit alleges that after his injury, Paul lost interest in him as a client and failed to do his due diligence in seeking offers and promoting his clients. At the time of the lawsuit, he was seeking $58 million in lost wages.
