The NBA is working with the Hawks to gather information on the arrest of forward Thabo Sefolosha, a league spokesman confirmed on Saturday, per ESPN.
The league wouldn't say that it was an official investigation of Sefolosha. "We are working with the Hawks organization and local law enforcement to obtain more information about the circumstances surrounding Thabo's arrest," the NBA's Michael Bass said.
Sefolosha was arrested following the Wednesday morning stabbing of Chris Copeland and charged with resisting arrest and interfering with the establishment of a crime scene. He suffered a fractured right fibula and ligament damage in the arrest, and video tape showed him being wrestled to the ground by several officers and struck with a baton.
