Oklahoma City Thunder guard DeAndre Liggins is accused of punching his girlfriend in front of the couple's 2-year-old son on Saturday, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Tuesday. Liggins has not been charged. Jasmine Horton, who describes herself as Liggins' girlfriend, said Liggins hit her in the head with his hand and then punched her in the head when she fell on the ground, according to the affidavit filed in Oklahoma County District Court. The couple's 2-year-old son was in the room during the incident at their home, 2309 NW 180, she told police. Horton locked herself in a bedroom before Liggins reportedly kicked in the door, pushed her down, dropped a fan on her, stomped her with his foot and dropped an Xbox on her head, according to the affidavit. Horton had injuries on her arm and fingers as well as scratches on her back and bruising on her chest, according to the Oklahoma City police officer who wrote the affidavit. Liggins was booked into jail Saturday on complaints of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse in the presence of a minor, a jail official said. He was released that day on $8,000 bail. Link
Jones, Lawson, Liggins, Sullinger... Jones looks relatively good. (No, I am not excusing Jones or his actions.) Those other three, getting into fights with their woman. Ha, crazy.
He worked his whole life to get into the NBA and he's gonna throw it away over something so stupid. Part of me feels no sympathy for these thugs.
What's the reasoning behind this? Locker-room cancer? Bad role model? Is that the reason why the Rockets seem to preempt these things by trading guys away (Jordan Hill, Royce White) before those domestic violence charges become public? Or just coincidence in the timing?
This sucks. hopefully he doesn't go over the edge and be back in the headlines for the bad reasons. Go play overseas and fix your head.
