Cavaliers Guard J.R. Smith is currently being sued for $2.5 million for an incident that occurred near a night club in New York City back in November.

New Yorker, Justin Brown, who was 19 years old at the time, asked Smith to pose for a picture after Smith had been partying at 1Oak until about 4 AM.

Brown claims that Smith refused to take a picture and choked him and punched him in the neck and face.

Smith was not arrested, and the Manhattan District Attorney declined to file charges in January after a two-month investigation.
