Milwaukee Journal Sentinel — Damon Jones, a guard on the Milwaukee Bucks roster, hasn’t shown up in town, but one of his creditors has come here to find his money.
A lawsuit was filed against Jones, the self-proclaimed best-dressed man in the NBA, for not paying a New York City clothier almost $16,000 for some custom-tailored threads.
According to the lawsuit, Jones bought $15,879 worth of apparel from Jared M Custom Clothing in August 2005. The clothier, represented by local attorney Darrell Zall, is seeking the money plus interest of 5% per year. Zall said Thursday that he had no further comment.
Matt Wessel, a spokesman for the Bucks, said Jones and the organization had come to a mutual agreement that he would not join the team. However, he remains officially listed on the roster. The Bucks got Jones in a trade last summer that sent Mo Williams to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
