Free agent guard Bryn Forbes arrested on domestic violence charge

Bryn Forbes, a guard waived by the Timberwolves just after the trade deadline last week, has been arrested in San Antonio on a misdemeanor family violence charge, according to multiple reports, including the NBC affiliate in the city.

According to the police report, Forbes, 29, was arrested just after 5 a.m. at a home off La Cantera Parkway. Police said that while Forbes and a woman were out when he became upset at her. After the two drove home, Forbes allegedly hit the woman several times during an argument. EMS was called out to give the woman medical attention.

Forbes played four-and-a-half seasons for the San Antonio Spurs and maintains a residence in the city. He was expected to be booked at the Bexar County Jail, although the incident is still under investigation.

Forbes signed this season to play for the Timberwolves but had a limited role with them, getting into just 25 games and averaging 3.6 points per game. The Timberwolves waived him just before the trade deadline on Feb. 9 (two make way for the two players they got back in the D’Angelo Russell trade) making him a free agent. This incident makes it highly unlikely a team will pick him up for the rest of this season.
