NEW YORK (AP) - A state appeals court in Manhattan dismissed former basketball star Latrell Sprewell's libel suit against the New York Post over the newspaper's account of how he broke his finger nearly five years ago.
The 5-0 ruling by the state Supreme Court's Appellate Division reversed a lower court ruling that said Sprewell's case could proceed.
Sprewell, who was with the New York Knicks in 2002, sued the Post and reporter Marc Berman that year over articles published Oct. 4, 7 and 8. The articles suggested the 6-foot-5 guard/forward had broken his right little finger in a fight on his boat in a Milwaukee marina in September 2002.
