ATLANTA (AP) - Sacramento Kings rookie Tyreke Evans says he is letting his agent and lawyer deal with a wrongful-death lawsuit resulting from a fatal shooting committed out of his vehicle by a teenage cousin.
Evans is among four people being sued over the November 2007 drive-by shooting near his home in Chester, Pa., just south of Philadelphia. His cousin, Jamar Evans, is serving a 9 to 20-year prison term after admitting he fired out the passenger-side door and killed 19-year-old Marcus Reason.
Evans says he is staying focused on his game and letting his representatives handle the lawsuit, which seeks more than $50,000. He says the whole situation is tough on him, but he's learned from it and now he's just trying "to move on."
Evans spoke before Wednesday night's game against the Hawks.
