*Eddy Curry of the New York Knicks is facing foreclosure on his Chicago-area home after falling behind $217,502 in payments on his $3.7 million mortgage, according to the Chicago Sun-Times and the New York Times.
The foreclosure filing was made Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.
The Sun-Times reported that Curry took out a 30-year mortgage, with initial monthly payments of $28,675, when he purchased the home in the Burr Ridge suburb in July 2006. Based on that figure, Curry would appear to be seven months behind on his payments.
Two years ago, Curry and his family were the victims of an armed robbery at the house. Things have gone downhill ever since.
Curry has spent the last year coping with legal troubles, personal anguish and professional setbacks. A former girlfriend, who is the mother of Curry’s 3-year-old son, was murdered in Chicago in January.
Two weeks earlier, a former driver accused Curry of sexual harassment in a salacious lawsuit that painted Curry as a bully and a bigot. The suit was dismissed last month, and the matter was sent to arbitration.
