A former psychologist for the San Antonio Spurs is suing the team and their former player Josh Primo over allegations of indecent exposure.
Buzbee says team management told her “to sit it out” after she registered her complaint and she was told to work from home. “Once Primo’s conduct entered the public sphere, the Spurs were forced to act and release Primo. She alleges that the team “ignored her repeated reports of indecent exposure” before he was released by the Spurs last week. It is baffling why she did not bother to tell her patient that his private parts were visible underneath his shorts.” Josh Primo never intentionally exposed himself to her or anyone else and was not even aware that his private parts were visible outside of his workout shorts. “The Spurs organization was willing to sacrifice Dr Cauthen to keep what they hoped would one day be a star player.

"It's very rare to have someone that has the chance to build something within an organization, and I chose to build something with people that I trusted. The Spurs took Primo with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft after one season at Alabama. She said she had more meetings with Wright in the following months and met multiple times with lawyers from the Spurs organization. "And we expect the authorities to prosecute." This needs to change and it needs to change now." And I feel like, more importantly, I lost the impact to help others [and] I lost my job."
