Donnie Nelson's Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Against Mavs Dismissed 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Nov 4, 2024 7:20 pm

A wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Donnie Nelson against the Dallas Mavericks has been “dismissed with prejudice,” according to Dallas County court documents filed last week. The lawsuit was scheduled to go to trial in December.


Nelson was fired in June 2021.


In the lawsuit, Nelson claims that he was fired by the Mavs in retaliation for reporting that Mark Cuban's "right-hand person" allegedly sexually assaulted Nelson's nephew during 2020 All-Star Weekend.
