Devin Ebanks is the star of this post today, and it's not because of his basketball skills!

The small forward of the Los Angeles Lakers, who was cleared of a rape investigation last year, is being sued by the woman who accused him for sexual assault. According to the article written by TMZ, the woman filed a report with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), but the case was dropped by them due to lack of evidence.

In hopes of recovering damages through civil court, Ebanks is being sued for sexual assault and battery, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The Lakers have dealt with sexual/rape lawsuits in the past. Star player of the team, Kobe Bryant, was charged with sexual assault in 2003. The case was eventually dismissed in 2004 when the woman failed to testify.
