Marvin Bagley III added 20 points and 11 rebounds for Detroit.
Ex-manager sues Mavs, alleges retaliation
DALLAS (AP) — Former Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson is suing the Mavericks, alleging that team owner Mark Cuban fired him in retaliation for reporting sexual misconduct by a team executive.
Nelson said his relationship with Cuban soured after he called for action against a team executive who is a close Cuban aide for sexually harassing a job applicant. Cuban denied the allegations to ESPN.
