A former NBA lottery pick, McLemore played for several teams during his NBA career, including the Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers. He played his last NBA game for the Trail Blazers in the 2021-22 season.
McLemore was arrested at the Portland Airport on an outstanding warrant out of Clackamas County and booked into the Clackamas County Jail.
These are serious allegations and the outcome of the proceedings will be determined by the judiciary. As the case continues, more details about the specific incident and the evidence against McLemore may emerge.
McLemore himself has since issued a statement saying he is confident his name will be cleared once the truth comes to light.
