*The NYPD is looking to question Sacramento Kings player Matt Barnes after a woman accused him of choking her inside of a nightclub early Monday (Dec 5), reports TMZ.
The Kings were in town to play the Knicks on Sunday. Law enforcement sources say a 911 call was placed after midnight from Avenue Nightclub, reporting a man assaulting two women and another man, according to the website.
Barnes allegedly choked one woman during an argument, and allegedly punched two other people who tried to intervene.
TMZ posted video of Matt and a teammate (likely DeMarcus Cousins) discussing the incident immediately afterward. The teammate is heard saying, “Matt hit the s*** out this ni***!”
