Shortly after his arrest, 27-year-old center Chance Comanche was released by the Stockton Kings.
An NBA G League player was taken into custody by FBI agents on Friday afternoon in relation to the disappearance of a 23-year-old woman in Las Vegas.
Chance Comanche, 27, of the Stockton Kings, the NBA’s G League affiliate of the Sacramento Kings, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree kidnapping on Friday in Sacramento County Jail, according to jail records.
His booking time was 12:37 p.m. It says that he is not eligible for bail and was charged with a felony on Friday.
Not long after the arrest, Comanche was set free by the Kings.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Kings and the NBA for comment, but neither organization responded right away.
Marayna Rodgers, a medical assistant from Washington, is the victim in this case. She vanished on December 6 while visiting friends in Las Vegas. Sakari Harnden, 19, got into a car, according to 8 News Now investigators.
In addition, Harnden is charged with first-degree kidnapping. Her $500k bail has been set at a downtown Las Vegas jail.
The night before Rodgers vanished, on December 5, Comanche had participated in a G League match in Henderson, Nevada, against the G League Ignite, a development team. The distance between Henderson and Las Vegas is fifteen miles, and it’s not clear how long Comanche stayed in Sin City.
Comanche attended the Dec. 7 Rip City Remix that the Kings played in Portland, Oregon.
According to a criminal complaint, Harnden kept or imprisoned Rodgers against her will and without permission with the intention of killing her or seriously hurting her.
Judge Diana Sullivan of the Las Vegas Justice Court set bail for Harnden and asked that the state “notify the Court immediately if the alleged victim is located alive.”
According to a criminal complaint supplied by 8 News Now Investigators, Harnden is charged with theft in a different case before the Las Vegas Justice Court. He is alleged to have stolen at least one Rolex.
Family members of Rodgers expressed shock at the news, saying it was completely out of character for her to travel to Las Vegas without them and her dogs.
The 6-foot-10 center Comanche, who was not selected by the University of Arizona, only played one game in the NBA, that being in 2022–2023 for the Portland Trail Blazers.
Over the previous two seasons, he has made 24 appearances for the Stockton Kings, including 13 this year. In each game, he averages 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 blocks.
The court date for Comanche is December 19.
Basketball Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hospitalized After Breaking Hip in a Fall, Representative Confirms
No NBA player had ever scored more points, blocked more shots, won more MVP awards, participated in more All-Star games, or played in more seasons than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who retired from the game in 1989 at the age of 42.
Rookie of the Year, a member of six NBA championship teams, a six-time NBA MVP, a two-time NBA Finals MVP, a 19-time All-Star, a two-time scoring champion, and a member of the NBA 35th and 50th Anniversary All-Time Teams are just a few of his incredible individual and team accomplishments. In addition, he held seven All-Star records and eight playoff records. Abdul-Jabbar was the player with the greatest success, both individually and as a team.
Even though Abdul-Jabbar was a phenomenal player, he didn’t gain the adoration of basketball fans until the latter part of his career. He was a private man, unfriendly to the media, and occasionally distant. He formerly admitted to The Sporting News, “I’m the baddest among the bad guys.”
However, Abdul-Jabbar started to open up toward the end of his playing career, and as his career came to an end, coaches, players, and fans all expressed their admiration for what he had accomplished in the game of basketball. In every arena in the league, Abdul-Jabbar received honors during his final season, 1988–89.
As per his representative, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke his hip on Friday night and was admitted to the hospital.
The NBA legend was hurt after a terrifying fall that happened while he was at a concert in Los Angeles.
Deborah Morales, his representative, confirmed to various media outlets that he had been transported to a hospital.
Although Abdul-Jabbar’s concert attendance is unknown, Morales announced that he would be having surgery.
According to Morales, the Hall of Famer is “deeply appreciative” of the assistance provided by the Los Angeles Fire Department as well as the “amazing medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital who are taking great care of [him].”
On April 5, 1984, Abdul-Jabbar, who spent 20 seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, surpassed all other NBA scorers in scoring.
Throughout his remarkable career, he was the player with the most MVP Awards—six—winning. He was also a 19-time All-Star, a six-time NBA champion, and a ten-time selection to the NBA First Team.
In addition to winning three NCAA titles at UCLA, his No. 33 is retired by the Lakers and the Bucks. He was selected first overall in the NBA Draft of 1969.
Throughout his career, he averaged 11.2 rebounds and 24.6 points per game. He is currently second all-time with 38,387 points, after LeBron James overtook him in the previous season.
