Houston Rockets guard Kyle Lowry may face up to six months in jail for an alleged assault of a female referee during a game in September. The woman, Infini Robinson, was officiating a pick-up game between NBA players on September 22nd in Las Vegas.
Robinson is part of the Southern Nevada Officials Association and played her collegiate basketball at UNLV and the University of Michigan.
“At the end of the game, Lowry approached the victim and threw a basketball at her striking her in her torso. The victim picked up the basketball and tossed it back at Lowry. Lowry became upset and stated, ‘B****, meet me outside. I will kick you’re a**’.”
The warrant goes on to allege that after Lowry walked away, Robinson went to the designated area for officials to change shoes and clothing, and she was hit with a basketball at a high rate of speed.
Lowry’s behavior was confirmed by the two other referees in the game so it appears he could be in some real trouble here. Especially since, according to the report, he apologized profusely for his behavior after settling down.
