The Kings will play in Philadelphia on Monday night, but the source said it was uncertain exactly when Barnes will turn himself into authorities.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person did not have authority to speak on the matter.

The incident happened at the Avenue nightclub after the Kings played the New York Knicks. Barnes was accused of choking a woman. Barnes has maintained his innocence and denied starting the altercation.
