According to court records obtained by Priscilla DeGregory of the New York Post, ex-NBA player Terry is being accused of not paying for a $25,000 diamond-encrusted Rolex watch.

In order to attend Drai's Nightclub in Las Vegas, Nevada while attending the NBA Summer League, Terry allegedly stole a custom-made 23.5-carat stainless steel timepiece from famous jeweler Eric Mavachev.

According to Mavachev, Terry later expressed interest in purchasing the watch, and Mavachev obliged.

The complaint claims that Terry was supposed to pay him back, but he never did, and he also ignored Mavachev's repeated attempts to get in touch with him.
