The lawsuit against Coach Rick Carlisle claims he failed to pay agent Jarinn Akana a commission for a contract extension negotiation, amounting to $200,000 initially, but no further payments were made.
Carlisle denied all allegations in the lawsuit, calling them "not true in whole or in part," while the trial is scheduled during the first round of the NBA playoffs.
The claim includes allegations that Carlisle threatened to report Akana for violating player-agent regulations, even though both parties had previously agreed on such arrangements.
Despite mediation efforts, the dispute between Carlisle and Akana could have significant implications, with the trial set for April 2025, coinciding with crucial NBA playoff games.
