The Josh Primo case closes a new chapter this Thursday. According to Shams Charania, Former San Antonio Spurs psychologist Hillary Cauthen has filed a criminal complaint against the player. for undressing in front of her up to nine times without her consent since December 2021 and against the San Antonio Spurs for knowing about Primo’s practices since 2022 and failing to act on it. According to Cauthen, these were ignored by the organization.

The Texas team cut its young promise (19 years and 1.98 m) at the end of October. It was a sudden and surprising dismissal that took the NBA world on the wrong foot. Nobody got it until Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne (ESPN) reported the reason a few days later: Spurs had received several complaints that Primo was stripping naked in front of women without their consent.

After learning of the dismissal, the Canadian sent a statement to ESPN in which a major issue was glimpsed: “I sought help to deal with a trauma I suffered and now I’m going to take this time to focus on mental health treatment. I hope to be able to talk about this problem in the future.

Primo was selected with the 12th pick in the 2021 draft. He was considered a steal by Spurs, who trusted him by exercising their renewal option they had on him for the 2023-24 season. There were no symptoms of a problem exploding within any of the model NBA franchises considered, which did not appear to have acted with the speed or force that a problem of this type required.

The reasons that led San Antonio to expel Primo seemed too high a handicap for him to walk on a basketball court again if there is no prior treatment to resolve his traumas. However, in recent days, the Canadian has been linked with the Brooklyn Nets.
