Sprewell's personal life since he last played in the NBA has been plagued with controversy and financial trouble. In 1994, Sprewell's daughter was attacked by his pet pit bull, and she required surgery.
[7] In spite of the fact that his daughter's ear was reportedly severed, Sprewell refused to put the dog down. At junior college, Sprewell was arrested for stealing.

Relationships
On August 30, 2006,
Milwaukee police investigated a claim by a 21-year-old female who claimed that she and Sprewell were having consensual sex aboard his 70-foot (21 m) yacht, named "Milwaukee's Best," when Sprewell began to strangle her. Police allegedly observed red marks on the woman's neck. Police investigating the allegation searched Sprewell's yacht for evidence.
[9] On September 6, 2006, police indicated that he would not face any charges from the alleged incident. Sprewell sought a restraining order against the woman along with "civil remedies" against the accuser.

On January 31, 2007, Sprewell's long term companion sued him for $200 million for ending their relationship agreement. She claimed Sprewell agreed to support her and their four children while they were in college.

Property
On August 22, 2007, it was reported by multiple news agencies that Latrell Sprewell's yacht was repossessed by federal marshals after Sprewell failed to maintain payments and insurance for the vessel, for which he reportedly still owed approximately $1.3 million.
[11] In addition, while piloted by Sprewell, the yacht ran ashore near
Atwater Beach, just north of Milwaukee. Sprewell refused to contract with a professional salvage firm to remove the yacht. The yacht was eventually freed with the help of a local fishing vessel.
[12]
In February 2008, Sprewell's yacht was auctioned for $856,000 after he defaulted on a $1.5 million mortgage,
[13] and in May 2008 a Milwaukee area home owned by Sprewell went into
foreclosure status.
[14] Between September 2007 and January 2008, documents revealed that Sprewell failed to make his mortgage payments of $2,593 per month.
[15] In July 2009, a Westchester mansion owned by Sprewell went into
foreclosure status.
[16] That action was dismissed on motion of another party's attorney, Roger K. Marion.
