Former Kroenke Sports employees expected to join ex-Nuggets mascot in class action lawsuit
Summary
Former Kroenke Sports & Entertainment employees are expected to join a class action lawsuit led by Drake Solomon, the former Denver Nuggets mascot. The lawsuit alleges that the employer violated the Protecting Opportunities and Workers’ Rights (POWR) Act through severance agreements containing nondisclosure, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions. Solomon, who succeeded his father as Rocky, claims he was forced to work after hip surgery and was told replacement tryouts would occur regardless of his recovery. The lawsuit seeks economic and compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and $5,000 per violation for all affected employees. A trial is expected in spring 2027.
