According to TMZ, Lissa Davis claims the property was originally purchased around 20 years ago before being sold earlier this year.
In addition to fraud, she is also suing her brother for intentional infliction of emotional distress and other claims.
Former NBA Star Sued by Sister Over Home Sale
According to the lawsuit, Lissa experienced a "life-threatening" health issue following the birth of her son in 2008. She then turned to Baron for financial help.
She claims her brother encouraged her to sell her home in Northridge, California. The understanding was that he would purchase another property for her through his real estate agents.
Lissa alleges that Baron kept the home's title in his own name for "tax purposes." She and her husband are said to have invested their life savings into renovating the property.
She says she believed the home was effectively hers despite the title arrangement.
According to the lawsuit, Lissa discovered in January 2026 that Baron was selling the property through a third-party real estate agent.
She claims she had no prior warning that the home had been put on the market.
Lawsuit Seeks Damages From Former All-Star
Lissa alleges Baron never informed her about the sale and is now seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
Her lawsuit includes claims of fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and additional allegations.
Davis enjoyed a successful 13-year NBA career after being selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-3 point guard played for the Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks. He appeared in 835 regular-season games until 2012. Davis earned NBA All-Star selections in 2002 and 2004 while playing for the Hornets.
Davis also holds the NBA record for career playoff steals per game, averaging 2.28 steals across 50 postseason appearances.
Following his retirement, Davis became a regular panelist on TNT's Players Only broadcasts beginning in 2017.
He has since built a career in film and television while also pursuing a number of business ventures.
Neither Davis nor his representatives have publicly responded to the allegations contained in the lawsuit.
