DURHAM, N.C. -- Christian Laettner could avoid bankruptcy after reaching a deal with his creditors.Court records say the former NBA player and Duke All-American and his creditors have reached a settlement; Laettners attorneys have filed a motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to dismiss the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against him.The documents were filed Monday and obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. The amount of the settlement was not disclosed in those fillings. A hearing is scheduled Oct. 20 in Durham.Laettner and some partners helped develop Durhams West Village, a mix of apartments and commercial space, and it was sold earlier this year. One of Laettners Washington-based attorneys, Hassan Zavareei, said in a statement that some of the proceeds from that sale will be divided among his creditors.The five creditors, who include Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart and former Detroit Lions linebacker Ernie Sims, began bankruptcy proceedings against Laettner in June, saying he owes them more than $14 million.Laettner and former Duke teammate Brian Davis were two of the leaders of a project to turn former tobacco warehouses in Durham into the apartments and mixed-use space. To satisfy the creditors, Zavareei said, Laettner sold the majority of his interests in the project to a real estate investment company based in Washington. That company then sold the final phase in February to an Ohio-based real estate firm for $187 million.Laettner, 47, led Duke to national championships in 1991 and 92. The highlight of his buzzer-beating shot to beat Kentucky in the 1992 East Regional final remains an annual staple of NCAA tournament coverage. He made one All-Star team during a 13-year NBA career that included stints with six teams. Junior Fernandez .

Sean McMahon has crashed Queenslands grand farewell for a host of departing Reds stars, leading the Melbourne Rebels to a nail-biting 31-28 Super Rugby victory on Friday night.The Wallabies back-rower played like a man possessed in his return from injury, scoring a first-half double and setting up another try as the Rebels held on despite a late Reds comeback fuelled by two gallant tries from Liam Gill.Gill, Greg Holmes, Ben Daley, Saia Faingaa and Curtis Browning were all playing their last games for the Reds, with all five moving either interstate or overseas next season - and the talk all week was that their teammates wanted to send them out on a high note.Instead they produced arguably their worst half of a rotten season as the Rebels scooted to a 24-7 halftime lead, which eventually proved unassailable.Only 14,126 were on hand at Suncorp Stadium on a hollow night for the Reds, more evidence of how much work they have to do both on and off the field to return as a rugby force.Melbourne were saying goodbye to one of their own, foundation player Luke Jones, who will play for French club Bordeaux next year.It took them just 102 seconds to hit the scoreboard as McMahon broke free to set up winger Tom English, who blew past Queenslands left-side defence on his way to the line.A Jack Debreczeni penalty made it 10-0 soon afterwards, before Nick Frisby provided the Reds reply from the back of the scrum to narrow the margin.But McMahon, who ran for 112m in the first half alone, then struck for his two tries, both coming in the space of ffive minutes - the first after breezing through Reds front-rowers Andrew Ready and Sef Fagaase, the second on the back of a bullocking run from prop Toby Smith.ddddddddddddGill scored his first in the 48th minute and then the Reds comeback looked on nine minutes later, when a smart inside ball from Frisby set up star centre Samu Kerevi to score next to the posts and make it 24-21.But Duncan Paiaauas attempt at a clearing kick from only a few metres in front of Queenslands defensive tryline was charged down by Nic Stirzaker, who gathered the scraps and then touched down to score a moment later.Gill produced more magic from the back of the ruck in the 69th minute to keep the Reds in touch, but try as they might the Reds couldnt find another.Holmes, who departs as Queenslands second-most capped player of all time, said the defeat wont take the gloss off his career with the Reds.Ive got over 10 years of memories here, he said. You remember the bad ones as much as the good ones.We didnt get a result tonight but thats nothing in the bigger scheme of things. Im just very pleased and happy with what Ive achieved here.McMahon said he was stoked to finish the season with his first career double and believes the Rebels are making firm progress as a side.Theres definitely positive signs, every year weve gotten better and better and next year were going to keep building and hopefully we will be a finals side, he said.
