Former Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics star Kevin Garnett was at the center of a domestic dispute, over which the police were eventually called.
TMZ Sports reported on Monday, May 5, that an incident between Garnett and his partner Teare Candelier transpired at their shared residence in Los Angeles on the evening of April 27 at approximately 2 a.m. local time.
Citing unnamed law enforcement sources, TMZ Sports further reported that Candelier dialed 911 due to the confrontation, which is why police ultimately got involved.
"We're told when officers arrived, Garnett had left ... but they nonetheless took a report. They noted Candelier did refuse medical aid after they asked if she needed it," TMZ Sports wrote. "Sources familiar with the situation tell us as Garnett was trying to leave the residence to diffuse the conflict, he moved Candelier out of a doorway ... but outside of that, things never turned physical."

TMZ Sports also included what it described as an official statement from Garnett and Candelier in its exclusive report on the incident.
"We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities," the couple wrote, per TMZ Sports. "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, now 48 years old, played 21 seasons in the NBA. Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020, Garnett won a title with the Celtics in 2008.
He also won the league's MVP award in 2004 as a member of the Timberwolves and NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors during the 2008 campaign with Boston.
Garnett finished his career as a 15-time All-Star selection and currently hosts a podcast entitled "KG Certified" with co-host and former Celtics teammate Paul Pierce.
