The New York Knicks have revealed that forward Cleanthony Early did not suffer from life-threatening injuries after reportedly being shot in the leg on Wednesday.
The New York Daily News, citing police sources, said Early was shot leaving a Queens strip club by "four to six people wearing ski masks" in three separate vehicles that surrounded Early's taxi roughly a mile from the club.
According to the New York Daily News, the masked men robbed Early, 24, of his jewellery and gold caps on his teeth just hours after the Knicks' victory over the Detroit Pistons.
The Knicks released a statement which read: "We are aware of what occurred with Cleanthony Early this morning and are relieved that he is not in a life-threatening situation.
