Rick Carlisle, head coach of the Indiana Pacers, will not participate in a civil trial originally set for next April during the NBA playoffs, as the case has been resolved. Sources indicate that both parties are satisfied with the outcome, leading to a forthcoming dismissal.
The lawsuit involved Carlisle and former agent Jarinn Akana, relating to payment disputes following Carlisle's contract renegotiation with the Dallas Mavericks. Carlisle has denied all allegations.
