Report: Matt Barnes pleads guilty, receives sentence

Share

Matt Barnes is reportedly close to resolving his legal matter.

Barnes pled guilty to disorderly conduct on Tuesday morning and was sentenced to 10 days of community service, according to TMZ Sports.

Back in December (as a member of the Kings), Barnes got involved in a skirmish at a New York nightclub.

“They’ve got enough to charge Barnes with an assault on a woman,” a police source told the New York Daily News. “It will probably be a misdemeanor assault on one of the females who was pushed or choked or sustained some sort of injury. She’s obviously cooperating.”

It appears that Barnes' lawyers were able to cut a deal.

The 37-year old is reportedly due back in court in August to hash out details for his community service.

The Warriors signed Barnes in early March after Kevin Durant injured his knee against the Wizards.
