This once again comes down to who you believe.
According to the initial reports, Primo exposed himself several times to women, which is why the Spurs cut him. It looks like he will also get sued by the doctor who has retained the rights of Deshaun Watson’s accuser’s attorney Tony Buzbee.
Sources are telling TMZ Sports this is all a misunderstanding, and Primo is being taken advantage of.
Joshua Primo was cut by the Spurs after a team psychologist claimed he exposed himself during therapy sessions … but sources close to the 19-year-old hooper are adamant he did absolutely nothing wrong.
Primo, the 12th overall pick in the 2021 draft and one of the youngest hoopers in the league, was released by San Antonio on Friday … after he was accused of “multiple alleged instances of him exposing himself to women,” according to an ESPN report.
But, sources close to Primo are insistent he never intentionally exposed his privates … and if anything was visible at any time, it was strictly a wardrobe malfunction resulting from laying down on a couch in basketball shorts.
It’s been documented … JP had a rough childhood, and we’re told the psychologist was helping him work through some personal issues … so he’d almost always go to her office in shorts before or after practice or games.
The accuser’s attorney has identified his client as Dr. Hillary Cauthen … a performance therapist with the organization.
Our sources say Primo was shocked by the allegations … and many in is circle feel he’s a young guy who’s being taken advantage of by a medical professional twice his age.
The accuser has hired Tony Buzbee — the attorney who represented many of Deshaun Watson’s accusers — and the two are scheduled to hold a news conference Thursday in Texas where they’re expected to expand on the allegations for the first time.
The press conference will be on Thursday, when we will get more clarification from Cauthen’s side of the story.
No team picked Primo up on waivers.
