New York Knicks small forward Cleanthony Early was robbed and shot in the knee outside a strip club in Queens around 4:15 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to the New York Daily News, among other local outlets.
Early was reportedly already in an Uber car when he was approached by as many as a half dozen people in ski masks. The assailants fled the scene with pieces of Early’s jewelry -- including his gold caps and gold necklace -- after firing a single shot into his right knee.
As the Daily News points out, a similar situation occurred less than two weeks ago, when over $600,000 in jewelry was taken from teammate Derrick Williams’ New York apartment early one Saturday morning.
Early is now in stable condition at a local hospital, and, fortunately, his injury is not considered life-threatening.
The 6-foot-8-inch NBA sophomore has averaged 4.4 points per game over his two years as a professional. He was drafted by the Knicks in the second round of the 2014 draft, after playing college ball for Wichita State.
