The father of Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was arrested and charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing another man in a parking lot.
According to jail records, 57-year-old Quenton Marcelles Brown was booked on that charge, and his bail bond was set at $300,000.
3News in Las Vegas reported that the incident started over a "door ding." The victim and his girlfriend were sitting in a vehicle at All American Park when Brown parked his SUV next to them. Brown opened his passenger side door, hitting their vehicle. Witnesses identified Brown, who is listed at seven feet tall and 300 pounds, at the scene.
According to a report obtained by the news outlet, the victim, who was in critical condition, was stabbed in his back, upper right clavicle area, and left hand. He also suffered a broken right rib that might require surgery.
Brown is a four-time NBA All-Star and 2024 Finals MVP, and has played with the Celtics since being drafted in 2016. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists last season.
