San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker gets injured in a nightclub in New York City – NBA Update
In a press conference on Friday in Paris, San Antonio Spurs veteran point guard Tony Parker revealed that he has suffered a scratched retina in his eye after being involved in a brawl in a New York City club which involved celebrities
Chris Brown and hip hop sensation Drake`s sycophants .
Parker who was seen wearing black shades to cover his eyes labelled himself out for a week from training camp scheduled for the French team in Paris to prepare for the Olympics in August.
He will be wearing a "therapeutic" lens in order to prevent any further damage to his retina for a whole week.
"I was with my friend Chris Brown and me and my friends took some punches, so I'll be missing the start of the French team because I can't do anything for a week except keep the lens in and then take drops."
The incident took place on Thursday at W.i.P in SoHo. Brown a good friend of Parker`s and his girlfriend also got injured in the incident. Parker described the occurrence as a rarity during which bottles were hurled everywhere.
“They started throwing bottles everywhere. I don't know what happened. At first it was OK, but then it started getting worse and when the plane landed it was really hurting so I went straight to the ER."
New York Knicks injured guard Iman Shumpert was present at the location. However he was escorted out of the vicinity before the happening took place. Shumpert who was not involved in the incident had this to say on his twitter
account after getting notified of the brawl.
"Definitely pre bottle smash. Lol. Security walked me out before it broke out." – Shumpert.
There has been hardly any notable controversial news involving any of the Spurs players over the past decade, expect perhaps the Parker-Eva Longoria episode.
Spurs management have refused to comment on the particular incident. As far as Parker is concerned, he may have been hard done by the whole incident. He proved this season that he is one of the best point guards in the league,
and the French team will be hoping for his quick recovery as they prepare for the Olympics.
