Embattled New York Knicks Center Eddy Curry is facing foreclosure on his $3.7 million Chicago-area home, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
The report indicates that Bayview Loan Servicing recently filed notice in Cook County Circuit Court against Curry and his wife, Patrice, revealing that the couple is about eight months (more than $217,000) behind on their mortgage payments.
Curry — who was selected fourth overall by the Chicago Bulls straight out of Thornwood High School in South Holland, Ill., in the 2001 NBA draft — has earned an estimated $34 million since 2005.
However, financial mismanagement could be to blame — Curry is suing his former business manager for a “thorough accounting” of the 26-year-old’s finances during the last three years.
It could also be the reason Curry has been the target of five separate nonpayment-related lawsuits over the last 18 months. His former chauffeur, David Kuchinsky, earlier this year also accused Curry of sexual harassment in an outrageous case that is still pending.
Around the same time, Curry’s ex girlfriend and nine-month-old daughter, Ava, were murdered in Chicago.
Curry is not the only NBA star to fall into foreclosure — former All Star Latrell Sprewell captured national headlines in early 2008 when he defaulted on his half-million dollar home in River Hills, Wisconsin. For more on celebrity foreclosures check out our archive right here.
