LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Latest on the trial of a lawsuit claiming NBA star Derrick Rose and two other men raped a woman (all times local):

3:20 p.m.

Derrick Rose testified in a lawsuit accusing him of rape that he interpreted an ex-girlfriend’s text message as consent to have sex with her later that night.

The New York Knicks player testified Friday in the $21.5 million lawsuit accusing him and two friends of sexual assault while the woman was incapacitated.

Rose says he had split up with the woman before she texted him in August 2013 that he was the reason she “wakes up horny.”
