A Los Angeles federal jury has begun deliberating in the civil rape trial against NBA star Derrick Rose.

Jurors deliberating Wednesday will determine whether Rose and two friends had sex with his ex-girlfriend when she was too incapacitated to give her consent.

The woman's lawyer says the woman was either too drunk or had been drugged when the three men had sex with her in 2013.

Lawyers for Rose and his friends say the woman initiated and willingly participated in sex. They say she is lying to cash in on Rose's wealth.

The woman was seeking $21.5 million when she filed suit, but her lawyer didn't provide a specific sum for the jury.

Jurors in the case must reach a unanimous verdict.
