Eric Bledsoe has been arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence, according to a report from TMZ, for allegedly slapping his girlfriend.
“We’re told cops received a call about a domestic incident around 11:13 PM ... with a victim claiming she had been slapped by her boyfriend,” TMZ reported.
This is obviously disappointing and comes just days after the announcement that he was signing with the Shanghai Sharks, a Chinese basketball team. Bledsoe was a star during his more than a decade-long career in the NBA.
For much of his career, Bledsoe was a standout defensively and also averaged more than 10 points per game for eight straight years, topping out at 21.
