NEW YORK, USA – Golden State Warriors forward Matt Barnes pleaded guilty Tuesday, June 27 (Wednesday, June 28, Manila time) to disorderly conduct but avoided jail time following a December incident at a New York nightclub.
Barnes was ordered to perform 10 days of community service and allowed to do the work in California. He was given until August 29, the next hearing date, to complete the work.
During Golden State’s playoff run to the NBA title, Barnes came off the bench to appear in 12 games, totaling 9 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and two steals.
Charges came from an early morning incident involving Barnes when he was a member of the Sacramento Kings and former Kings star DeMarcus Cousins.
Video footage obtained by police appeared to show Barnes as the assailant of 3 people, with two women reported being choked by Barnes. Another man who ran to aid one of the women was sucker-punched.
Cousins was accused of delivering the punch but was recently cleared of wrongdoing by police.
A civil suit has been filed against Barnes and Cousins by plaintiffs Jasmine Besiso and Myrone Powell. – Rappler.com
