Brooklyn Nets forward Andray Blatche was questioned by cops this morning in connection with an alleged sexual assault at the Philadelphia Four Seasons, sources told The Post.
Blatche was questioned after a 21-year-old woman told cops she was sexually assaulted around 3:30 a.m. inside the hotel in the Center City neighborhood, according to local media.
The player hinted at questioning this morning when he tweeted, “I’m ok and I didn’t do anything jus was n the area when it happened”– though he later pulled down the tweet.
He later posted, “Gettin ready for the game,” referring to tonight’s matchup against the 76ers.
Cops said that a Nets player was in the suite during the alleged assault, but was not in the same room, NBC10 Philadelphia reported.
Blatche was questioned along with a 41-year-old man and a 25-year-old man, the station reported.
Philly police would only say that they were investigating the alleged assault, and that no one was in custody.
The 6-foot-11, seven-year pro was at this morning’s Nets shoot around.
“We are aware of the ongoing police investigation regarding a member of the Brooklyn Nets,” Nets GM Billy King said in a statement. “We will have no further comment until the investigation has concluded. All of our players are available for tonight’s game.”
The Four Seasons confirmed the alleged attack, but nothing more.
“The Philadelphia Police Department responded to a call to Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia early this morning (January 8),” the statement read. “We are fully cooperating with the police investigation. We would advise all questions be directed to the Philadelphia Police Department at 215.686.3388.”
This isn’t the hoopster’s first run-in with police. Blatche was busted in 2007 in Washington DC when he allegedly tried to pick up an undercover cop posing as a prostitute. He was also arrested in 2008 in Virginia for reckless driving, according to the Washington Post.
Blatche’s one-year contract with the Nets was guaranteed less than 12 hours before the alleged attack.
