The NBA is facing a lawsuit that will be filed by the mother of a G-League player that collapsed and died during a game in March.
Prominent civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, lawyer Bob Hilliard and Upshaw's mother, will file a wrongful death lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of Zeke Upshaw, who played for NBA G-League's Grand Rapids Drive.
The attorneys are claiming negligence in Upshaw's death.
The 26-year-old Upshaw collapsed during a game against the Long Island Nets on March 24. He died two days later.
