The Atlanta Hawks Thabo Sefolosha recently announced that he will miss the rest of the season with an injured leg which was caused by his arrest in New York, after “obstructing justice” on Chris Copeland’s stabbing crime scene.
He has officially released a statement regarding what happened and how he feels about the entire situation:
Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports also commented on the situation:
Hawks’ Thabo Sefolosha statement: “I am in great pain, have experienced a significant injury and that the injury was caused by the police.”

Sefolosha thanked Hawks, teammates, friends, family for support in “difficult time” Apologized to Hawks for distraction. Can’t discuss case.

Essentially, Thabo Sefolosha is about to sue the NYPD, and he definitely has a right to do so. If you have seen the TMZ video of his arrest, you can tell that the police may have intentionally tried to hurt him. We wish Thabo a speedy recovery and all the best.
