Knicks meet Wizards amidst Curry lawsuit
Jan 14, 2009 - 11:27 AM Washington (7-30) at New York (14-22) 7:30 p.m. ESTNEW YORK (Ticker) -- The New York Knicks' on-court accomplishments, or lack thereof, continue to be overshadowed by sidelined players' off-court actions.
In the face of yet another embarrassing situation, the Knicks look to earn their second straight win when they host the lowly Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
On Monday, center Eddy Curry was hit with a sexual harassment suit by his former driver.
The report states that Curry, a married father of four, "tried to solicit gay sex" from David Kuchinsky, who worked for the big man from October 2005-October 2008.
Kuchinsky is seeking $98,000 - including $68,000 in unpaid wages - from the injured Curry, who has played just one game this season but will earn $9.4 million.
It is not the first sexual harassment charge against Madison Square Garden and the Knicks, who had to fend off an embarrassing suit filed against the organization and former team president and coach Isiah Thomas.
Former MSG employee Anucha Browne Sanders was awarded $11.6 million in punitive damages in that case, which saw exiled point guard Stephon Marbury, who is still under contract with New York while awaiting his release, take the stand and admit that he had consensual sex with an MSG intern in his truck outside a strip club.
That testimony, along with that from Thomas, has caused many to describe the organization as a glorified fraternity house. The allegations against Curry certainly don't help.
The Knicks snapped a three-game win streak with a 101-95 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Monday and will try to keep that momentum going against the Wizards, who have lost five straight, including Monday's 97-91 setback against the Milwaukee Bucks.
