Trial date set for Dwayne Killings lawsuit begins April 12 in Albany

The trial for a lawsuit against UAlbany men's basketball coach Dwayne Killings is scheduled to begin on April 12, 2026, in Albany. The suit was filed by former player Luke Fizulich, who accuses Killings of assault in a locker room incident prior to a November 2021 game. The case will be overseen by U.S. District Judge Mae A. D'Agostino, with motions due by March 22 and a final pretrial conference set for April 6. The lawsuit claims that Fizulich was violently pushed and slapped by Killings, while the university confirmed inappropriate physical contact led to Killings' five-game suspension and a $25,000 fine.
