Former USC basketball star Chad Baker-Mazara is suing the university and head coach Eric Musselman after alleging a racially charged, profanity-laced locker room tirade that led to his abrupt departure. The incident, following a loss to Nebraska, reportedly included Musselman telling Baker-Mazara to “go back to the fking Dominican Republic,” which Baker-Mazara says mirrors racist tropes targeting African-Americans. He’s seeking damages for breach of contract and claims USC terminated his NIL deals under a vague “morals clause” to avoid paying him. Despite averaging career highs before leaving, Baker-Mazara will now play professionally in Puerto Rico, while USC, under Musselman’s leadership, continues its NCAA tournament drought.
