Carmelo Anthony is suing his former business manager, alleging that more than $2 million of his assets were misappropriated.

The lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court in Sacramento, Calif. on Monday.

The suit alleges that Anthony's former business partner Larry W. Harmon, and employees of Larry Harmon & Associates P.A., breached their duties by transferring more than $1.75 million of Anthony's money without the player's knowledge or consent.

"I intend to aggressively represent Carmelo Anthony," his Beverly Hills-based attorney, Robert W. Hirsh, told The Associated Press. "The evidence which I have reviewed strongly suggests that Carmelo Anthony's former business manager plundered his assets. It is reprehensible that professional athletes are so often victimized."
