The Atlanta Hawks say Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins was attacked by a fan after their victory over the Orlando Magic.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the attacker was a former NBA referee, Rashan S. Michel.
Michel, who was arrested and charged with simple battery, said Wilkins owed him money, Atlanta police told the newspaper.
Wilkins is a vice president with the team and serves as a television analyst. He had just finished working Atlanta’s 85-82 victory Wednesday night from his customary spot on press row when the alleged incident occurred at Philips Arena.
Team spokesman Arthur Triche says the attacker was “promptly arrested and taken into custody by the Atlanta police department.” Wilkins was not injured.
