NBA free agent Bryn Forbes was arrested in San Antonio on a misdemeanor family violence charge early Wednesday morning.

Forbes, 29, was arrested around 5:15 a.m. at the La Cantera Resort & Spa, in the 16600 block of La Cantera Parkway, on the city’s far Northwest Side.

According to San Antonio police, Forbes assaulted someone he is said to be in a dating relationship with. EMS was called out to give the woman medical attention.

A preliminary police report says Forbes was out with the woman when he became upset. That’s when, police say, the pair drove home and upon their arrival got involved in an altercation, which then became physical.

Police said the woman was struck several times by Forbes, causing injury and needing medical assistance. Forbes was taken by officers into police custody.

The case remains under investigation, police said.

During the 2020-21 season, Forbes played 70 games with the Milwaukee Bucks, who won the NBA title. He averaged 10.0 points per game on a career-high 45.2 3-point shooting.

Forbes last played for San Antonio back in 2022 before he was traded to the Denver Nuggets. He eventually signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2022, but was waived on Feb. 9. He averaged just 3.6 points per game for the Timberwolves. He has yet to be picked up by another NBA team.
