    HOUSTON (AP) -- Calvin Murphy's arraignment on charges he molested five of his daughters has been rescheduled for next month.

    The former Houston Rockets star was scheduled to answer the charges in court Tuesday, but his attorney asked that the hearing be postponed and a judge Monday reset the arraignment for May 12.

    Murphy has claimed his innocence, but has yet to be indicted by a grand jury on six charges filed in March.

    Murphy, 55, was a guard for the Rockets from 1970 to 1983 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.

    He has taken a leave of absence from his analyst duties on Rockets telecasts while he fights three charges of indecency with a child and three charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

    The five daughters, now adults, claim the abuse occurred from 1988-91, according to an affidavit filed by authorities. Murphy contends the claims by his daughters stem from family discord related to a battle over money.

    do you guys think he'll wear his pimp suits or do you think he'll tone it down. Can't remember the last time i saw him dressed in a normal suit.

    I fnd it intersting that we haven't heard about any other allegations against him. At the time this all went down, they made it sound like we should expect 5 other counties to bring charges any minute.
