Looks like Noel may be in trouble off the court.

It's a nasty fight between Nerlens and a woman named Jamie -- who claims the 20-year-old signed an affidavit in May 2013 (one week after the child was born) admitting he is the father. She claims the two remained close after the pregnancy.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Jamie claims Nerlens agreed to pay $10k per month in child support -- and did for 3 months -- but suddenly cut her off and hasn't paid a dime since.

The honey trap is the 1st thing they tell the young rooks about. Hopefully he's got some kind of paternity test showing he isn't the pop. If not, get ready to pay for the next 18 years.

Honey trap? Paternity test? Looks more like this was a relationship -- and might even have pre-dated his year in college (given the birth date) -- and if it was that, why then he fathered a child.

If so, Nerlens Noel's son or daughter needs and deserves the support (financial at the very least!) of a Father. And, if in fact it were to be $10K/month for 18 years, as you suggest, that's just over $2M. Not that much assuming he has a reasonable career. His rookie contract amounts to over $20M.
