Ex-GM Nelson's suit vs. Mavs dismissed in court

DALLAS -- Former Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson's lawsuit against the team was "dismissed with prejudice," according to documents filed in Dallas County court last week.

Nelson gave notice to the court Thursday that he is taking a nonsuit on his claims against all defendants, according to court documents.

The case had been scheduled to go to trial Dec. 10.

Rogge Dunn, Nelson's attorney, told ESPN that "the parties have reached a resolution of their dispute on confidential terms." Former Mavericks governor Mark Cuban, now a minority owner of the franchise, declined to comment Monday.

In the lawsuit, which was filed in March 2022, Nelson claimed he was fired by the Mavericks in retaliation after he reported that then-majority owner Mark Cuban's "right-hand person" allegedly sexually harassed Nelson's nephew in a hotel room during the 2020 All-Star Weekend in Chicago.

Nelson alleged that discussions with Cuban about an eight-figure contract extension abruptly halted when he reported the allegation. Nelson, who originally joined the franchisee as an assistant coach under his father, Don, in 1997, was eventually fired in June 2021.

In their response to the lawsuit, the Mavericks denied that Nelson was wrongfully terminated and claimed that he threatened to reveal the sexual orientation of Cuban's chief of staff if his contractual demands were not met. In the filing, the Mavericks accused Nelson of a "lengthy scheme to extort as much as $100 million," and cited "a number of factors" including "poor job performance" for his firing.
