ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Magic basketball star Steve Francis was hit with a civil lawsuit by two brothers alleging the player and his entourage beat them in a Washington, D.C., nightclub, according to reports.

The alleged fight happened Sunday at a nightclub where Francis was partying following the Mike Tyson-Kevin McBride boxing match.

Akbar Muhammad of Essex County, NJ, and Nafis Muhammad-Baker of Landover, Md., are accusing Francis and 12 unnamed members of his party of beating them about the head and body. The suit also claims Francis hit Muhammad over the head with a bottle, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

The lawsuit goes on to suggest that Muhammad and a third brother, Ahmad Muhammad, were beaten so viciously that they were rendered unconscious, according to Florida Today.

The lawsuit does not specify the amount of damages the plaintiffs are seeking.

Francis, 28, has not been charged and a police spokesman would neither confirm nor deny that he was the subject of an investigation.

His agent, Jeff Fried, said that Francis was not involved in the scuffle and was escorted out of the nightclub by his security team after a bottle was thrown at him.

The lawsuit alleges that Francis became enraged following Muhammad-Baker making a comment to him about a woman with Francis.

Francis led the Magic in scoring (21.3 ppg.) and assists (7.0 apg.) in his first season in Orlando.

He finished third in the NBA in both turnovers and technical fouls.

He was fined an undisclosed amount by the team for skipping the first practice after the all-star break and he was suspended for three games by the NBA for kicking a courtside photographer in February.
