NEWARK, N.J. — (AP) — Seton Hall University has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by former star basketball player Myles Powell over a knee injury Powell claims was misdiagnosed by team staff and led to his not being drafted by any NBA teams. Powell was Seton Hall's third all-time leading scorer and was the Big East Conference player of the year in 2019-2020. The suit alleged Powell was misdiagnosed with an ankle injury early in the 2019-20 season, when it was actually a lateral meniscus tear to his right knee. The suit further alleges the high-scoring guard was not told of the extent of his injury and the failure to treat it properly caused permanent damage. Testa would inject “pain killer” medication into the knee to allow Powell to play, the suit alleged.
