Tony Parker might want to start avoiding nightclubs. While Parker is
used to having his name in tabloids from his days with ex-wife Eva
Longoria, it's hard to fathom the French hoops player would ever end up in
the same headlines as rapper Drake and singers Chris Brown and
Rihanna. (Although he did have a brief hip-hop stint let's not forget.)
But leave it to the W.i.P nightclub in New York to bring them all together. It turns out Parker was in the wrong place at the wrong time on Wednesday night. Or Thursday morning, rather.
The San Antonio Spurs guard says he suffered a scratched retina on one of his eyes during a brawl at the New York City nightclub involving Brown and members of Drake's entourage. The fight was reported to be over singer Rihanna.
Parker, wearing dark sunglasses, described the incident Friday in Paris during a news conference posted on YouTube. He said he expects to be sidelined for about a week while the French team prepares for the Summer Olympics. Parker described the incident: "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."
Police said Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among several people injured during the bottle-hurling fight early Thursday.
Parker said "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."
The Spurs declined comment.
Brown tweeted a picture of his chin that had a large, open gash, shortly after the fight was said to have taken place.
