Woman testifies in rape trial against Knicks' Rose
LOS ANGELES -- A woman accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends of gang-rape testified Thursday in the civil trial of her $21.5 million lawsuit against the New York Knicks player, who appeared in court for the first time.
When Rose entered the courtroom, the woman paused and became emotional while being questioned by her attorney about the events on a night in August 2013.
Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek on Thursday said it's unclear at this point if Rose will miss preseason games while he attends the trial. Rose is expected to be in Los Angeles on Friday, and the Knicks play preseason games in New York on Saturday and Monday.
The trial is scheduled to resume Tuesday in Los Angeles.
