LOS ANGELES (AP) -Police said Tuesday they are investigating whether Los Angeles Lakers center Kwame Brown was involved in a reported sexual assault.
``The assault is alleged to have occurred in the early morning hours of April 29,'' said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman.
The Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 3 of their NBA playoff series the night before.
The case is under investigation by the department's Robbery Homicide Division. Police have notified the district attorney's office of the investigation.
The Lakers were in Phoenix to play the Suns in Game 5 of their Western Conference playoff series Tuesday night. Lakers spokesman John Black said the 24-year-old Brown was with the team but wouldn't comment further.
A phone message was left with Brown's agent, Jeff Wernick. No further details were immediately available.
