Tim Duncan could have lost more than $20 million due to fraud committed by his long-time financial adviser.

Duncan has more than $220 million in career earnings and was paid $10 million in 14-15. Duncan will be a free agent this offseason, but the financial loss won't be a factor in whether or not he decides to continue his career.

“Luckily I had a long career and made good money,” said Duncan. “This is a big chunk, but it’s not going to change my life in any way. It’s not going to make any decisions for me.”

Duncan in January filed a lawsuit against his ex-financial adviser, alleging that Charles Banks pushed him into investments despite conflicts of interest that ultimately caused substantial loss. Among the allegations was that Banks hid his own interest in investment opportunities recommended to Duncan.

The losses from 2005-2013 were discovered during a review of Duncan’s finances as part of his divorce, the player said.

“I trusted someone to do a job that I hired them to do and they misused my trust and went astray and started using my money,” Duncan said, noting that he’s speaking out to dispel Banks’s assertions that the losses stemmed from a misunderstanding or that he was impatient and wanted out of certain investments. “I want people to understand that the statements he made are absolutely incorrect, that he’s just trying to make himself look good and save his own image when there’s nothing there to save.”
