Charania reports Porzingis was "jumped at the club, assaulted and hit by objects" during the incident.

Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports that to the Mavericks' understanding, it was several Russians who attacked Porzingis and the object that was thrown at him might have been a chair. He added that Porzingis fought back before security broke it up.

Porzingis, 23, was traded by the New York Knicks to the Dallas Mavericks last year and sat out the campaign due to a knee injury. In late March, he was accused of raping a woman in New York in 2018.
