Report: Ty Lawson being extorted after computer hack

Ty Lawson

Sacramento Kings point guard Ty Lawson is being extorted by computer hackers who reportedly got their hands on some sensitive information, per TMZ.

“We spoke with Lawson’s attorney, Martin Kaufman, who says they’re extremely concerned about the hack — because the culprits got access to some very sensitive and private material.”

The hackers are reportedly shopping the material around and have threatened to release the sensitive information if Lawson doesn’t part with a large chunk of money.

The police have been involved, per Kaufman, but no arrests have been made at this point.

Lawson spent most of his NBA career playing with the Denver Nuggets. After playing with the Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers last season, he signed a one-year, $1.3 million contract to join the Kings for the upcoming 2016-17 season.
