Kevin Garnett And Girlfriend Involved In Domestic Dispute In Los Angeles Apartment
Kevin Garnett was recently involved in a domestic dispute in his Los Angeles residence. His girlfriend, Teare Candelier, was the one who made the call to the cops on April 27, and the couple has since released a joint response regarding the situation. Law enforcement sources told TMZ Candelier called 911 just before 2 a.m. that night after the 'escalated' argument. Cops took a report upon arrival although the retired NBA star had left the premises by that time. Candelier refused medical care. In a joint statement to the outlet released Sunday (May 4), the two expressed contrition for the events that occurred and said they would have rather not gotten police involved. 'We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities. It was never our intention to involve others in a moment that should have remained private,' it read. They then assured they were ready to move on from the situation in private. 'Like most couples, we have disagreements, but our commitment to each other remains strong, and we move forward with renewed respect, understanding, and love,' the statement concluded. According to New York Post, the argument never got physical besides when Garnett 'moved Candelier out of the way of the doorway.' Nicknamed 'the Big Ticket,' Garnett is widely regarded as one of the best professional basketball players of all time. He is a 15x NBA All-Star and one of five NBA players to have won both the NBA Most Valuable Player Award and the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award. The 48-year-old most famously played for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Boston Celtics, and also went to the Brooklyn Nets before returning to the Wolves prior to retiring. Although his professional basketball career came to an official end in 2016, he is still commentating on the game he loves via KG Certified, his current show with Paul Pierce.

NBA great Kevin Garnett responds to reported domestic incident 'after girlfriend called cops at their LA home'
The girlfriend of Basketball Hall of Famer and NBA Champion Kevin Garnett phoned police over a domestic incident, according to a TMZ report. Authorities told TMZ that Garnett's partner, identified by the website as Teare Candelier, dialed 911 around 2am on April 27 to report a domestic dispute between the couple at their LA-area home. TMZ does not specify which department was called, but has reached out to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for confirmation. Furthermore, TMZ is told by officers that Garnett was not on the premises when police arrived and Candelier refused medical aid when it was offered. Garnett was attempting to leave the residence to diffuse the argument when he moved Candelier out of the door, sources familiar with the situation told TMZ. Beyond that, there was no further physical altercation. On Sunday, the couple released a statement expressing regret over the incident, saying police shouldn't have been called. 'We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities,' Garnett and Candelier wrote in a joint statement provided to TMZ. 'It was never our intention to involve others in a moment that should have remained private.' 'Like most couples, we have disagreements, but our commitment to each other remains strong, and we move forward with renewed respect, understanding, and love.' Garnett is best known for jumping straight from high school to the NBA when he was taken with the fifth pick of the 1995 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. In 2007, he was traded to the Boston Celtics, with whom he'd win his only NBA title the following spring. Later he was traded with teammate Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets in a deal that laid the foundation for Boston's 2024 NBA title. Over his illustrious career, Garnett not only won an MVP, but was also named Defensive Player of the Year and was named to 15 All-Star teams. He was previously married to Brandi Padilla, with whom he shares two daughters. Outside of the occasional on-court confrontation, the 6-foot-11 Garnett has never known to be in trouble off the court.
