An NBA player has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman and then paying off the alleged victim, TMZ Sports reported Friday.
Avery Bradley, now a guard for the Detroit Pistons, allegedly assaulted a woman in Cleveland earlier this year while playing for the Boston Celtics. On May 23, Bradley's Celtics were in Ohio for a playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after the game Bradley allegedly assaulted an unnamed woman, whom TMZ Sports described as a "reality star." The alleged victim claims she was too inebriated to consent.
