The recent House vs. NCAA settlement case has sparked significant excitement within college basketball and the wider NBA community. On Monday, federal judge Claudia Wilken will preside over an essential final approval hearing in a California courtroom. She will likely hear from various objectors.
In connection with this development, wealthy NBA players have reportedly filed claims for payouts from the NCAA House settlement amid ongoing changes in athlete compensation. According to Front Office Sports, players from over 10 NBA teams credited one specific teammate with guiding them through the settlement process and assisting with their compensation claims. Jarred Vanderbilt of the Lakers, who recently had a heated moment, is among these players.
“I got an email, so I checked my email, and once I found out, I told some of the guys in the locker room to check their email to see if they were eligible for it,” Vanderbilt said to Alex Schiffer of Front Office Sports.
