The NBA D-League has been a breeding ground for some successful NBA talent in the past. From Hassan Whiteside to Jeremy Lin to Danny Green and even Reggie Jackson, the NBA’s ‘minor league’ has a great path for basketball players to achieve success.
Unfortunately, not every player has their minds and bodies in the right place. Recently, former NBA D-League All-Star Eric Griffin was arrested for attempted murder. Griffin, formerly a member of the Detroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat preseason teams over the last few years, played overseas in 2015-16 for Al-Nasr Dubai SC.
Following from Sam Gardner of Fox Sports.
Griffin was arrested Friday on attempted murder charges after he and another man, 23-year-old Daquan Lundy, allegedly fired several rounds at a third individual outside an Orlando, Fla., apartment building.
The alleged victim, 24-year-old Treavor Glover, told police he was approached by two black males as he walked from his car to his apartment at approximately 1:19 a.m. on April 27.
Glover told officers that he’d never met or seen either of the men who attacked him, but informed police that his girlfriend’s brother, Gino Nicolas, was murdered in a separate shooting the week prior and claimed that rumors are circulating among Nicolas’ friends that Glover is friends with the alleged shooter in that case.
