The man charged with attacking NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins is disputing that he instigated the incident.
Rashan S. Michel allegedly punched Wilkins after Wednesday night’s Hawks-Magic game because, he said, Wilkins owed him money, Atlanta police said.
Michel, 36, was arrested and charged with one count of simple battery following the incident, Officer K.Y. Jones with Atlanta police told the AJC. Michel was released on $1,000 bond early Thursday morning.
