Former NBA star Zach Randolph ‘under police investigation over claims he attacked a woman in Los Angeles’

Former NBA star Zach Randolph 'under police investigation over claims he attacked a woman in Los Angeles'

Former NBA All-Star Zach Randolph is reportedly under investigation for an alleged domestic violence incident in the Los Angeles area.

As TMZ reports, a woman told police Randolph got physical with her during an incident that was said to have occurred in September of 2024. It is not known why she waited to report the alleged abuse, but officers told TMZ she did present pH๏τographs purportedly showing injuries suffered at Randolph’s hands.

Police are investigating the matter, but no arrests have been made.

Daily Mail has reached out to the LA County Sheriff’s Office and Randolph’s agent for comment.

The 43-year-old Randolph remains a beloved fan favorite in Memphis, where he played for the Grizzlies from 2009 to 2017, but he has occasionally run into legal problems.

There were his youthful transgressions during his early NBA days in Portland, where he was picked up for underage drinking and later accused of punching a teammate on what was then derisively known as the ‘Jail Blazers.’

More recently, in 2017, Randolph was arrested in LA for allegedly possessing marijuana with an intent to sell.

‘The charges are false and misleading,’ Randolph’s agent and attorney Raymond Brothers told The ᴀssociated Press at the time. ‘We’re looking at all options to resolve this matter.’

Despite Brothers’ claim, Randolph entered a no-contest plea and was sentenced to 150 hours of community service.

The burly 6-foot-9 power forward is best remembered for his crafty, below-the-rim game, which often befuddled younger and more athletic opponents. He was also one of the better rebounders in the NBA during his prime, twice leading the NBA in offensive boards per game.

And although he was seen by some as a disappointment in Portland and New York, Randolph was embraced in Memphis and later inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Randolph married his long-time girlfriend Faune in 2014 and divorced in 2020. The former couple shares five children, according to multiple online reports.

One of Randolph’s children, Mackenly, followed in his footsteps by being named to the McDonald’s All-American high school basketball team last year. She’s now playing at Louisville, where she’s coming off her freshman season with the Cardinals.
