NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is suing a New York City club and its operators for $20 million over a scratched cornea he claims he suffered during a fight involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake’s entourage.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday in State Supreme Court. It says the W.i.P club in SoHo and its operators were negligent in security and supervision, which allowed the fight to take place.

Chris Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among eight injured during the fight inside the club last week. Police said members of Drake’s entourage stopped Brown as he was leaving. The fight escalated and bottles were thrown.
