Embattled former UCLA basketball player Reeves Nelson has filed a lawsuit against Time Inc., the parent company of Sports Illustrated, and reporter George Dohrmann claiming defamation, false light, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to a copy of the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Nelson, painted as a chronic troublemaker who intentionally injured teammates in the Dohrmann-penned Sports Illustrated report "Not the UCLA Way," is seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and another $10 million in punitive damages, as well as a retraction, according to the suit filed by attorneys Keith Fink and Olaf J. Mueller of Los Angeles law firm Fink and Steinberg. The Sports Illustrated story cited "more than a dozen players and staff members from the past four Bruins teams" alleging numerous misdeeds in the UCLA program over the past few seasons and singled out Nelson for boorish behavior, including urinating on a teammate's clothes, routinely getting in physical altercations with teammates and intentionally injuring other players.
