NBA veteran Chris Bosh has found himself in a sticky conundrum — and it has nothing to do with basketball.

The Miami Heat star — who is currently in a hiatus due to blood clot issues — has been taken to court by a pair of pornography tycoons

Yes, you read that right.

Sports Illustrated reported Bosh had a lawsuit filed against him by Colette and Brigham Field, the couple behind pornography website X-Art.

Mr and Mrs Field are suing the two-time NBA champion for $92,000 (A$125,000) after being dissatisfied with the state of his Los Angeles mansion he rented to them in December last year. The couple paid $138,000 (A$188,000) in rent to the millionaire star only to find the luxury abode full of mould, rat faeces and plumbing issues.

The problems were allegedly so bad the couple “had to seek medical assistance for sickness and rashes that they suffered from the time when the mould could be seen and smelled”.

Bosh has played very little NBA over the past two years after a myriad of blood clot issues.

It’s been a known fact for quite a while that Bosh is done in Miami, but he has always been perfectly clear that he intends to continue playing professional basketball.

“Down the road we don’t have Chris’ services,” Miami Heat president Pat Riley said.

“It’s been discussed enough and it’s being discussed, but there’s no resolution to it right now,” Riley said. “I think in due time it will run its course and take care of itself. But I can’t give you a definitive answer.”

The Heat have a dilemma with Bosh. If they drop him, they will be liable for the next two years on his contract.

Bosh urged doubters he’s “still an athlete” and proclaimed his current situation is not how he wants his career to end.

“Look, there isn’t anybody in this organization that feels worse for C.B. than I do. It got a little sideways at the end because of feelings and things of that nature,” Riley conitnued.

“There has been conversations with the organization and with Chris personally. I’ll leave that at that.”
