Some rather troubling news to report in regards to former NBA player Ben Gordon, who has reportedly placed in a psych ward.
This comes after the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award winner was reportedly brandishing a knife, locked in a gym, asking people to ‘come at him’.
Per TMZ:
FYI, Gordon was hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation over the weekend after cops responded to his business, Of Our Own — a sports rehab and recovery center.
According to the police report, Gordon’s girlfriend claimed Ben had locked her in the gym — and was going berserk with a blade. Cops eventually went inside the gym, found Gordon in the bathroom and took him into custody. He was then transported to a nearby hospital.
TMZ also suggested that Gordon’s weird behavior had been doing on for months.
The former UConn great played parts of 11-seasons for the Chicago Bulls, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) and Orlando Magic.
