Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside sent $2.75 million to Michael Avenatti in 2017, thinking that the money would go to his ex-girlfriend, but now it is being alleged that Avenatti took most of the money for himself.

“We entered into a mutually agreed upon settlement more than two years ago following the end of our relationship; a settlement that reflected Alexis’ investment of time and support over a number of years as Hassan pursued a career in the NBA,” Whiteside and Gardner told the Los Angeles Times in a statement released by his agent.

The Golden State Warriors moved one step closer to Round 2 after defeating the Los Angeles Clippers on the road.

“I didn’t think I had bad games, but I didn’t have any big games,” Thompson said of his early series performance. “I told Jonas [Jerebko on Saturday] — we went to the beach and played some volleyball — I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m just going to jump in the ocean, and I just know that will reset my mind.’ And it worked. I don’t know if I’m going to jump [in the water] up north [in the Bay Area] because it’s freezing, but it’s something I’ll definitely contemplate if I don’t shoot the ball that well the rest of the year. But hopefully, that doesn’t happen.”
