Former Canadian national team basketball player Carl English is suing Canada Basketball for more than $400K after allegedly suffering an injury during a practice in 2013 that caused him to lose out on several job opportunities. Story from rwesthead:
English filed his lawsuit on Nov. 25, 2021. It has not been reported before now. His seven-page statement of claim says he is seeking $425,473.50 plus interest from Canada Basketball and the Canadian Basketball Foundation, a registered charitable organization dedicated to growing basketball in Canada.
“On Aug. 5, 2013, during a team practice, [English] sustained an injury to his right elbow,” says English’s statement of claim. “On Aug. 18, 2013, [English] again sustained additional trauma to his right elbow at practice, which ultimately prevented [English] from further participation with the Canadian senior men’s basketball team. [English] had surgery on his elbow on Sept. 7, 2013, for a bursal excision and a triceps tendon tear.
A Canada Basketball representative emailed English on Sept. 16, 2013, to confirm the “insurance amount” for his gross salary was up to 300,000 Euros. English was unable to reach an agreement with Canada Basketball’s insurance company and hired a lawyer to pursue a claim.
