Baker-Mazara Sues USC Over Racial Incident | Huntsville News

Former USC basketball star Chad Baker-Mazara is suing the university and head coach Eric Musselman after alleging a racially charged locker room tirade following a loss to Nebraska, which led to his immediate dismissal without explanation. The lawsuit claims Musselman told him to “go back to the Dominican Republic” and called him one of the worst teammates, with Baker-Mazara’s legal team arguing the remark was overtly racist. He also seeks damages for breach of contract, unpaid NIL earnings, and lost career opportunities, while USC denies racial motivation and insists the decision was based on performance and team dynamics.
