No one would blame Golden State Warriors center Marreese Speights if he was having trouble focusing on basketball this week.
Early Monday morning, Speights reportedly had a gun pulled out him outside of a nightclub in San Francisco. Law enforcement sources told KTVU that Speights was at the Cellar Night Club when a convicted felon pulled a gun on him and tried to rob him in the parking lot.
A group of gang members reportedly tried to steal Speights’ gold chains, but the 27-year-old was able to get away. He was unharmed, and the alleged gunman — identified as 28-year-old Michael Lamont Jackson of San Francisco — was later arrested.
Whether by coincidence or not, Speights had one of his worst games of the season later that night. He scored just six points and went 1-for-8 from the field in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. We’re glad to hear he escaped the incident without injury.
