What happened to Alvin Kamara? Saints star slapped with $10 million lawsuit after allegedly assaulting man until he was unconscious
New Orleans Saints star Alvin Kamara was involved in a conflict during the offseason where he allegedly assaulted a man at a Las Vegas casino.
While he was subsequently arrested, no disciplinary action was taken against Kamara by the NFL, since the league wanted to wait for the legal proceedings to come to a close.
After recent developments, however, it appears Alvin Kamara could be forced to pay up to $10 million after a civil lawsuit was filed against him by the victim, named Darnell Green.
As per FOX 8's Rob Masson,
"A civil lawsuit filed in Orleans court this afternoon reveals new details about an alleged beating incident involving Alvin Kamara in Las Vegas earlier this year. Alleged victim Darnell green is suing the Saints running back for $10 million. No comment so far from Kamara‘s atty"

There is a sense around the league that the NFL will likely suspend Kamara for a few games next season due to the incident, now that a civil lawsuit has been filed against the Saints running back.
