Former psychologist agrees to settle lawsuit with Spurs, Joshua Primo

A former scientific psychologist for the San Antonio Spurs has agreed to settle a lawsuit filed in opposition to the franchise and Joshua Primo, the 2021 lottery decide launched by the group final month after he was accused of repeated acts of indecent publicity.

“The events have agreed to resolve the matter,” Tony Buzbee, Cauthen’s legal professional, informed a number of information retailers.

Based on the lawsuit, Cauthen first reported Primo’s misconduct to Spurs administration in January. Her employment with the group ended when her contract was not renewed in August.

Primo, the No. 12 decide within the 2021 draft, was launched lower than three weeks after the Spurs exercised his third-year group possibility guaranteeing a $4.3 million wage for the 2023-24 season.

“The state of affairs relating to Josh Primo is a matter we take significantly,” Spurs CEO RC Buford mentioned in a press release launched Thursday. “Since studying of the allegations, we have now taken, and are taking, measures to make sure that all events concerned are handled with dignity and respect. We all know we owe that to Dr. Cauthen, our gamers, our employees and our group.

“As a corporation, we’re constantly evaluating and refining our processes in order that they finally replicate the values and tradition of who we aspire to be day-after-day. To that finish, we have now determined to collaborate with Dr. Cauthen and different consultants in an effort to overview and enhance our office processes and procedures. “It is a studying alternative for us, and one which we’re sure will make us higher transferring ahead.”
