I admit when I first heard about the lawsuit and now possibly missing the Olympics I thought it was overreaction at it’s finest but I didn’t know the full extent of Tony Parker’s injury. Â Read more after the jump.
Parker is suing the club for $20 million which is a bit excessive but his case has more leverage now that he may possibly miss the Olympics due to bottle throwing brawl between Drake and Chris Brown.
Dreams money can buy. It looks like the real losers of the Drake vs. Chris Brown beef is none other than France point guard Tony Parker.
Caught in the middle a night club scuffle between Toronto born hip-hop artist Drake and R&B singer Chris Brown, Parker and France’s opportunity of making any noise at the summer Olympic showcase is in serious jeopardy.
The San Antonio Spurs guard was injured in a New York nightclub 10 days ago and said he eventually had to undergo surgery to have a shard of glass removed from his eye, which he was at risk of losing.
Parker had expected to be back training after a week-long rest but said on Sunday he was still sidelined and may have to withdraw from the London Games.
“As required by the Spurs, I will go back to the U.S. on July 5… I will visit a specialist in New York, hoping he will give the green light to compete at the Games,” Parker said on his official website (www.tp9.net).
“The Spurs are very worried. Depending on the (examination) results, a withdrawal is possible. The decision is not mine anymore, it is up to the doctor and the Spurs.”
Parker will be out of action pending the doctor’s decision, so will miss four warm-up matches. He will be available only from July 7 if he is given the green light to play.
