Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens was struck by a car Monday night following a pick-up basketball game in Calabasas, according to authorities.
Owens was struck following an argument around 9 p.m. at the courts in the 2600 block of Rondell Avenue in Los Angeles' west San Fernando Valley, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Deputies responded to the area after an assault with a deadly weapon call.
Owens told deputies he was involved in an argument with a man after the recreational game, the sheriff's department said. That man got into a BMW sedan and began driving away when the car hit Owens on the left knee, authorities said.
The man then drove away. No arrests were reported.
