In a petition filed Friday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Durham, N.C., five creditors summon Laettner to pay the collectively owed sum or file for involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The documents, obtained by KentuckySportsRadio.com, did not disclose the nature of Laettner's debt but did categorize them as "primarily business debt."

In 2012, a Wall Street Journal report revealed Laettner and his business partner were the subjects of civil lawsuits seeking repayment of loans valued at about $30 million. One of those loans came from former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen, a teammate of Laettner's on the 1992 Olympic men’s basketball team, the Journal said.

Pippen was not explictly listed in last week's filings.

Laettner should come out of retirement. He can probably get $43M/3 year deal in this economy.
