Former Sacramento Kings point guard Ty Lawson is being sued by a woman who claims that Lawson assaulted and choked her this past May.
According to TMZ, Jonae Keyes claims that Lawson “grabbed her by the neck, choked her, and began punching her in the head.” Keyes is suing for damages, though the amount she is seeking is unknown.
While Lawson obviously no longer plays for the Kings, his last regular season in the NBA was spent in Sacramento. During the summer of 2016, Lawson signed with the Kings on a 1 year, $1.
