GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -Though he has not spoken to anyone from the Indiana Pacers, Lance Stephenson is well aware of Larry Bird’s disappointment with his arrest.
Stephenson says he heard about Bird’s strongly worded statement that was critical of his actions and plans to speak to the Pacers president to “see how he feels about it.”
Stephenson, 19, was arrested Sunday in New York on assault, menacing and harassment charges. Prosecutors said the Pacers’ draft pick pushed his girlfriend down a flight of stairs, then grabbed her and hit her head on the bottom step.
On Monday, Bird called the arrest “very disappointing to the Pacers franchise and to me personally.”
