(VIa CNN) San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is suing a New York City nightclub for $20 million over an eye injury he claims he suffered on a night singer Chris Brown and rapper Drake were also present in the club.
Parker claims he suffered "a corneal laceration of the left eye and other injuries" at the W.i.P. nightclub during the overnight hours between June 14 and June 15, and the injuries left him "unable to attend to his usual duties and vocation," according to the lawsuit.
The owners and operators of the club couldn't be immediately reached for comment Friday.The suit cites media reports in alleging "an altercation" between Brown and Drake, though Drake's representative has maintained that the rapper wasn't involved "in any wrongdoing of any kind" that evening at W.i.P.
....Parker was "sitting at a separate table, apart from Drake and Brown," the suit said. "As a result of the altercation at the club that night, (Parker) was caused to suffer severe personal injuries."The suit alleges that the owners and operators of the nightclub were "negligent in permitting Drake's entourage and Brown's entourage to be in the club at the same time despite known tension between the two" and contends the owners failed to provide "sufficient and efficient security.

"....The New York Times reports that the investigation is still ongoing as of Friday. The fight between Brown, Drake and their entourages resulted in five people getting injured. Brown had a giant cut along his chin from the bottle and tweeted a picture of the injury, which has since been removed. His girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, suffered a concussion and one of his bodyguards head was sliced open. An Australian tourist was also injured and needed 16 stitches in her scalp.
The Associated Press is also reporting that San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker claims that he was injured in the melee. Parker, who has joined the French basketball team in Paris to prepare for the Olympics, told the press that he won’t be able to play for a week. He said he is wearing a “therapeutic” contact lens and went to an emergency room once he arrived in Paris on Friday. “I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches, so I'll be missing the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops,” he said.
Another twist in the story occurred on Saturday when sources told The New York Post that NYPD plans on arresting Drake and charging him with reckless endangerment for his role in the fight. Although early reports suggested that Drake did punch Brown first, eyewitnesses have said that another person through the bottle at Brown that caused the mayhem to explode.
In addition, Drake’s rep says that he left before the fight even broke out."
