The future of Shawn Kemp’s freedom and businesses remains unclear.

Earlier this year, Kemp pleaded guilty to 2nd degree assault. On Friday, the SuperSonics star turned pot shop owner will be sentenced by a judge.

The charge stems from Kemp’s 2023 arrest, when he shot at a car outside the Tacoma Mall. Kemp had tracked his stolen phone to the mall and fired three shots at the suspects. No one was injured. Kemp told on-scene officers that he had fired the gun in self-defense.

Pierce County prosecutors are requesting a nine-month jail sentence.
