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 DailyMail.com 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 тιтle 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 тιтle.

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.
