Allen Iverson has been sued for not showing up for an Omaha speech.
The lawsuit filed in Douglas County District Court says the Denver Nuggets star didn't come to a booked speaking engagement in August, leaving about 2,000 fans waiting about three hours at an Omaha high school.
The event promoter, Dave Chambers, says Iverson's representatives said Iverson had a family emergency but didn't give details.
Chambers and his entertainment group are seeking a refund of a $10,000 deposit plus $33,000 in special damages, including the cost of renting a plane and sending it to pick up the star in Virginia.
