RIPPA Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Usurpingly - the NBPA is not happy with Ja's suspension calling it “excessive and Inappropriate” Quote As legal expert Michael McCann observes (via Twitter), even if the NBPA doesn’t support Morant’s behavior any more than the NBA does, the union has a legal duty to ensure that the league isn’t establishing new precedents that could be used to discipline players more harshly in the future. The Union will supposedly meet with Ja to discuss next steps. Ja has 30 days to file a grievance if he so chooses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 4 hours ago, Tabe said: ESPN says that the woman is accusing the Heat and NBA of assisting McGregor by separating her from her friend and forcing her into the bathroom where the alleged assault occurred. I'm more than a little skeptical of that claim. The Heat released a video of him leading her into a bathroom. It's hard to tell exactly what's happening though.

What a weird interaction - 50+ people around and they just..... go into the bathroom together. Edited June 17, 2023 by Tabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 File this away for when: a) The Pelicans, Hornets, or Magic threaten to move. (or the league announces an expansion) b) The IRS, SEC, and various other alphabetic acronyms come knocking asking where exactly all this money is coming from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Victor Wembanyama's first scandal is here. He was apparently approached by Britney Spears in a restaurant last night because she's a fan and wanted to take a picture. After she tapped him on the shoulder, Victor's security apparently backhanded her hard enough to knock her over and break her glasses. She has filed a police report. (I'm also guessing she is no longer a fan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The security guy is apparently the Director of Team Security for the Spurs. Why he sees a woman tapping his client on the shoulder and decides a backhand is the appropriate response is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogwelder Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Quote No charges will be filed following a brief investigation into the altercation this week involving pop star Britney Spears, San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama and a member of the player's security team, Las Vegas police said Friday. Police reviewed surveillance footage of the incident, with the report noting that Spears' hand hit herself in the face when a security guard pushed it away. Spears had filed a police report, alleging battery and saying she was struck in the face by the security guard when she tried to approach Wembanyama near a restaurant at the ARIA hotel and casino Wednesday night.

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Free agent G Josh Primo has been suspended for 4 games for conduct detrimental... He allegedly exposed himself to multiple women during his time with San Antonio, who waived last season. He is 20 years old and the 12th pick of the 2021 draft. He'll serve the suspension if/when he signs with a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) And Miles Bridges has been given a criminal summons for allegedly violating the domestic violence protective order against him, misdemeanor child abuse, and injury to personal property. There's also apparently been an arrest warrant out for him since January 2nd, also for violating the protection order. Way to go NBA, only suspending him effectively ten games.

Brian Fowler Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Josh Giddy is apparently being investigated for a possible "inappropriate relationship with a minor." Great euphemism for something truly awful, but it warms my heart that this has Karl Malone trending again.
