LOS ANGELES - Closing arguments are beginning in the trial of a lawsuit alleging NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends raped an incapacitated woman.

The arguments in Los Angeles federal court are expected to take several hours Tuesday.

When the case goes to the jury, the panel will have to determine whether the woman agreed to sex or was too incapacitated to do so.

Rose and two friends say the woman seemed sober and she willingly participated in sex and even initiated acts earlier in the night.
