A video of Milwaukee Bucks star Larry Sanders’ bar fight has been released to the public.
Police cited Sanders for disorderly conduct and assault in connection with an incident that occurred on Nov. 3 at Milwaukee nightclub Apartment 720, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Authorities also released surveillance footage of the bar fight, in which Sanders appears to swing a glass bottle at several individuals.
While the exact details behind the fight have yet to be revealed, sources told TMZ that Sanders became upset when he was splashed by champagne from a group of individuals at a nearby table. Eventually, Sanders confronted the group, which reportedly consisted of around 10 people.
In the bar fight video, Sanders struggles to keep his footing while jostling with several nightclub patrons. At one point, the 25-year-old begins to throw glass bottles into the crowd; TMZ reports that one clubgoer claims to have been “gashed open” by a flying bottle.
Sanders’ citation for disorderly conduct carries a fine of $185, while the citation for assault carries a fine of $366, the Journal Sentinel reports. Despite these penalties, Sanders’ attorney, Michael Hart, claims that his client did not instigate the bar fight.
“We are going to defend him,” Hart told the newspaper. “He has gotten a bad rap. The fact will bear that out.”
The fines aren’t the only negative result of Sanders’ role in the nightclub brawl. The 6-foot-11 center, who signed a $44 million contract extension in August, reportedly injured his right thumb during the incident. He underwent surgery in early November, and is expected to return to action later this month, TMZ reports.
The surveillance footage of Sanders’ bar fight can be viewed below, courtesy of TMZ.
