MALIBU, California — Former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen is being sued over a fight last month at a Southern California restaurant that left an autograph-seeker hospitalized with a head injury. The $4 million lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court says 49-year-old plaintiff Camran Shafighi simply asked Pippen for a photograph for his girlfriend's 12-year-old son. Instead, the suit says, Shafighi got a “brutal and unjustified physical attack” that included spit in the face, a shove, and a punch that sent Shafighi to the ground. “At no time did or could Mr. Shafighi physically provoke or fight back,” the lawsuit said. — AP
