Crisshawn Clark Suing Dana Altman, Oregon Basketball Staff for Negligence

Former 3-star recruit Crisshawn Clark reportedly filed a lawsuit against the University of Oregon and members of the team's basketball coaching staff, including head coach Dana Altman, on Monday alleging negligence.

According to Oregon Live's Tyson Alger, Clark alleged in the suit that he suffered an ACL injury during a workout with the Ducks during a recruiting visit in 2015 that was against NCAA rules. Specifically, Clark alleges that assistant coach Mike Mennenga ran him through one drill that involved finishing layups through contact. 

Citing a copy of the filing, Alger reported Clark alleged "contact from Mennenga threw Clark off balance, causing him to land awkwardly and tear the ACL in his left knee, which he had previously had repaired in April 2015 following a partial tear."

Clark is reportedly seeking $100,000 in damages. 

Following the incident during the workout that Clark alleges violated NCAA rules, the 6'4'' point guard missed the entire 2016-17 season with the Pittsburgh Panthers after undergoing surgery to repair a torn MCL and torn meniscus. 

He has since transferred to the University of Portland.
