at the point guard's house. He claimed Morant and a friend hit him so hard it left a"large knot" on the side of his head. He also alleged that after the assault, Morant went into his home and re-emerged with his hand on a gun.
“Probably, these false allegations were meant to make up for the fact the counter defendant and not Mr. Morant, started a fight and threatened to use a gun," the filing says. "Getting hit in the face with a basketball hurts," the filing says."For a professional point guard like Mr. Morant, an injury to the eyes or nose could be career ending."
The counter complaint alleges that Holloway also changed his story, citing the teenager's claim that he was kicked in his original complaint in September. The allegation does not appear in an amended complaint in March.
