This has been a relatively quiet offseason for the NBA in terms of players getting in trouble. Not that it’s usually bad this time of year, but all of the news pertaining to the NBA generally has been good. Other leagues can’t necessarily say that.
That is until now. Daniel “Boobie” Gibson turned himself into police on Monday in New Orleans in relation to a battery charge.
Exact details of what happened and who else was involvedare still uncertain at this point.
An NBA player most recently of the Cleveland Cavaliers turned himself in to police in New Orleans on Monday to face a charge of second degree battery.
Daniel Gibson, 27, surrendered himself at the New Orleans Police Department’s 8th District headquarters in the French Quarter. He was processed at Orleans Parish Prison a short time later and posted bond for his release before noon.
Bond had been set at $20,000, court records show.
State law defines second degree battery as an assault in which the offender “intentionally inflicts serious bodily injury” on another person.
