Former Brooklyn Nets and Utah Jazz assistant coach Jason Terry refused to pay for a $25,000 diamond-encrusted Rolex he rented for an event and later agreed to buy from a celebrity jeweler, new court papers allege.
Terry rented the 23.5-karat stainless steel custom watch from prolific New York jeweler Eric Mavachev — who professionally goes by Eric Mavani and is nicknamed “Eric Da Jeweler” — according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed Monday.
The 19-year NBA vet borrowed the flashy watch to wear to Drai’s nightclub in Las Vegas during the summer league, Mavachev’s attorney Mark Shirian told The Post.
Afterward, instead of returning the glittery watch, the former NBA combo guard — nicknamed “The Jet” — said he wanted to buy it from Mavachev, the filing said.

So Mavachev – who has sold bling-out jewelery to celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Tyga, Floyd Mayweather and Snoop Dogg and has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Tom Brady – agreed to sell the jewelery for $25,000, which Terry agreed to , the press claims. .
On July 10, Terry, 45 — who also played for the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks — sent Mavachev a text message asking for his bank account information, saying he would send the money on July 13, court papers allege.
But the money never came and the 2011 NBA Champion never returned the watch, the suit alleges.

Terry also hounded Mavachev in messages from the next day saying he never received the funds, the filing alleges.
Terry “has not paid the plaintiff the full amount of $25,000.00, which is the agreed value of the Rolex Watch, and has not returned the Rolex Watch to the Plaintiff,” the suit charges.
Shirian claims he and his client gave Terry 30 days to pay which he failed to do, causing a breach of contract lawsuit.

“Despite earning over one hundred million dollars in the NBA, Mr. Terry has failed to meet his financial obligations and has not made the required payments for the valuable watch,” Shirian said. “We are prepared to use all available legal avenues to recover outstanding payments for the watch.”
Mavachev — who filed the suit through his company Eric & Co. Trading Group LLC — is seeking $25,000 he says he is owed.
Terry did not immediately return a request for comment on Monday.
