PHILADELPHIA - A woman suing Philadelphia 76ers star Andre Iguodala for child support is seeking $12,000 to $15,000 a month.

Iguodala’s attorney, Charles Meyer of Blue Bell, says his client wants to “generously provide” for London Iguodala, the girl born May 7 to 23-year-old Clayanna Warthen of Clementon, N.J. Meyer says Warthen’s demands “were beyond what is reasonable.” He says he still hopes to resolve the matter out of court but that his client will comply with any court order.
