Evan Turner, who played in the NBA from 2010 to 2020, has defeated his former agent, David Falk, in a breach of contract dispute decided by a Delaware judge last Friday. Delaware Superior Court Judge Patricia A. Winston granted Turner’s motion for summary judgment in a case that turned on whether Turner had to pay Falk a share of proceeds from his sale of stock from an endorsement deal with Chinese shoe company Li-Ning.

Winston explained that stock vesting is when compensation to Turner for his services to Li-Ning actually occurred.  “Upon vesting,” the judge wrote, “Turner received the Stock as payment for his efforts encouraging people to buy Li-Ning shoes.” In contrast, money that Turner received from selling stock was “not due to any marketing efforts,” Winston wrote. She also noted that “party intentionally sitting on its contractual rights does not toll the statute of limitations,” meaning that a failure to sue is not a justification to extend the period for suing.

What’s one way to make a late-season, injury-ravaged matchup between the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz more intriguing? Call up Evan Turner, of course! The former Blazers forward will serve as the TV analyst for the Trail Blazers’ broadcast of Wednesday’s road matchup against the Jazz, the organization announced. Turner will fill in for Lamar Hurd for the game and work alongside usual Portland play-by-play man Kevin Calabro.

Evan Turner: Free agency comes around on July 1st, and my phone didn’t ring. Then in August, Mitch Kupchak called me, and he’s like, 'What do you do?' I’m like, 'I guess I dribble, I attack, I shoot—what do you mean?' [Because] that’s what Kobe does. So I’m sitting there like, 'Don’t call me asking me dumb questions like that.' With all due respect, Mitch, I’m not saying I’m the best, but y'all had been losing for the past three years, and I was averaging 25 points. You offer me a quarter million? I could get that off the block. Honestly, I’m never like that, but at the same time, for a quarter million, I might as well get it off the block. That’s how I ignorantly felt at the time.

Evan Turner: "Luckily, shout out to Brad Stevens. He was like, 'Bro, I can’t let people treat you like that.' I don’t know what changed, but he gave me a little bit of money and helped me. No joke, he helped me get my career back. Even when I left that situation with the Pacers, you gotta think—I went from being with the Sixers, where I was supposed to be a megastar, to hitting the ground hard. You get to a point where, like Jeff can relate, you’re either going overseas or you’re staying to fight. That was some real [stuff]. We laugh about it now, but at the time, it was real. Obviously, it didn’t stay dark forever."

“Stephon Castle is strong, quick, and gets guys moving,” an NBA scout told HoopsHype. “He can get downhill, and he can really pass. He can handle the ball, and he doesn’t take sh*t. He’s not a shooter. A comparison for him is Evan Turner, who was a good player in the league for 10 years.”
