Rocky the Mountain Lion roared back at the Denver Nuggets. The man behind the suit, Drake Solomon, is seeking unspecified damages from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which owns the Nuggets, for an alleged violation of disability protection laws.

Drake Solomon, a performer who previously served as the Nuggets' mascot, is suing team owner Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), alleging "unlawful disability-based discrimination and termination."

Drake Solomon, who took over the role of “Rocky” from his father, says he was fired months after having a hip replacement surgery, according to the lawsuit.
