LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Police Tuesday were investigating a report of a sexual assault involving Lakers center Kwame Brown.
The alleged assault occurred early Saturday, hours after the Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of their NBA playoff series, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Jason Lee said.
"The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has been made aware of the investigation," said Lee, who declined to provide further details. The case is under investigation by the department's Robbery Homicide Division.
The Lakers were in Phoenix to play the Suns in Game 5 of their Western Conference playoff series Tuesday night. Lakers spokesman John Black said the 24-year-old Brown was with the team but wouldn't comment further.
A message left with Brown's agent, Jeff Wernick, was not immediately returned.
The teasers they were using in the updates on KJR-AM were pretty amusing (at least to me) last night.
"A LAKER is being investigated for sexual assault..." "Sexual assault allegations regarding a member of THE LAKERS..."
etc., then they would report that it was Kwame Brown. I'm surprised they didn't say "A LAKER, WHOSE INITIALS ARE 'K.B.", WHOSE FIRST NAME HAS TWO SYALLABLES AND ENDS IN 'E', is being investigated for sexual assault," or something.
