Celtics' Walkerfaces investigation
BOSTON -- Celtics forward Antoine Walker is facing investigations by the NBA and the Boston police after an argument with a fan at the end of Game 3 against New Jersey.
NBA spokesman Mark Broussard confirmed Sunday that the league is investigating. A decision on discipline usually comes before the player's next game, which is scheduled for Monday night.
Boston police spokesman John Boyle said Sunday that a 43-year-old man filed a police report Friday night in which he claimed that Walker poked him in the face several times. The report has been referred to detectives for further investigation. Department policy prohibits the identification of the victim.
According to the police report, Walker's comments after the game and an Associated Press reporter who witnessed much of the altercation, Walker grew irritated after years of heckling by the fan from his seat behind the Celtics bench.
