Knicks鈥 Early shot and robbed in New York
Print Edition
NEW York Knicks’ reserve forward Cleanthony Early was shot in the leg in an apparent robbery after leaving a strip club overnight, reports and officials said on Wednesday.
Knicks coach Derek Fisher said Early was “doing OK.”
While Fisher indicated that the Knicks were not yet sure of the extent of Early’s injury, Yahoo reported that he had no structural damage in his knee. Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis tweeted “Prayers for my brother” Early, while Knicks veteran Carmelo Anthony told reporters in New York that the incident reinforced the need to tackle gun violence in the United States.
“It’s scary, man,” said Anthony, who contributed to a public service announcement that aired on Christmas urging an end to gun violence.
The incident involving Early occurred moments after the 24-year-old left the CityScapes Gentlemen’s Club in an Uber, according to media reports.
A group of armed and masked men robbed Early after surrounding the Uber vehicle with their cars, reportedly robbing him of a gold necklace and even gold caps on his teeth according to the New York Daily News. In the process, Early was shot in the leg, according to the reports.
A spokeswoman for the New York Police Department confirmed that a 24-year-old man had been shot in the leg in Queens but declined to name the victim.
