NBA'S RICHARD JEFFERSON GETS COLD FEET: San Antonio Spur walks away from $2 million wedding with hours to spare.

San Antonio Spurs star Richard Jefferson left his bride hanging last Saturday, stopping cold a posh Manhattan wedding that reportedly cost $2 million to prepare, reports the New York Post.

Jefferson -- who was traded from the New Jersey Nets in June -- dumped onetime Net dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols just before the weekend, according to sources. She immediately called her family and friends to say the ceremony booked at the Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle was off.

But Jefferson waited much longer, his friends told The Post. "He called about two hours before the wedding. It was nuts," said one Jefferson pal.

He never showed up at the hotel, but "all his boys were there," the friend said. "He gave his best friend the Black Amex for the night."

Richard Jefferson Wedding

Former New Jersey Nets star Richard Jefferson and onetime Nets dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols were set to tie the knot at the Mandarin Oriental last Saturday, NYPost.com reports.

But in an unexpected turn of events, Jefferson bailed the night before their wedding.

The cold-footed fiancé ditched his stunning bride-to-be at such late notice that some guests had already shown up to the extravagant $2 million event that never took place.

Jefferson — who was traded to the San Antonio Spurs in June — dumped Nichols just before the weekend, according to sources.

Although Nichols, 29, immediately called her family and friends to alert them of the ill-timed news, the basketball pro waited much longer.

"He called about two hours before the wedding. It was nuts," said one Jefferson pal.

Although Jefferson never showed up to the hotel, he made sure to give his best friend his Black Amex credit card, with which the guests made good use of during the night.

A jilted Nichols, who was "not entirely caught off-guard," checked into the hotel and was upgraded to a suite on the 45th floor overlooking Central Park on what would have been her wedding night, according to a source at the hotel.

"She just wants to keep this as quiet as possible and move on," a Nichols family insider told FoxSports. "She's doing just fine."

Neither Jefferson nor Nichols have responded to requests for comment.
