San Antonio police said in the preliminary report that officers responded to a call at 2:17 a.m. on Monday. Forbes allegedly assaulted a 30-year-old woman described as “an ex-significant other.” The report said the woman was able to get away and notify police.
Forbes then fled the scene before police arrived and was arrested late Tuesday morning.

He joined the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent in 2021 and returned to the Spurs the following season before being traded to the Denver Nuggets.
While details of the case are still emerging, this incident has shocked the NBA community and fans alike. Many are expressing their disappointment and concern for Forbes and the alleged victim.
