Iranian of the Day

MCA: A Memphis Grizzlies player and his girlfriend have both been charged with domestic assault after a fight in a Downtown apartment building Thursday morning, police said. Hamed Haddadi, a backup center from Iran, got into an altercation with his girlfriend, Golnaz "Asal" Karbalaei-Nemat-Moeeney, at about 5:35 a.m. Thursday, police said. Upon arrival at the 12th-floor apartment, police found Karbalaei-Nemat-Moeeney -- who was "extremely intoxicated," according to the affidavit -- bleeding from her head and hand. She had a cut near her right temple, another on her hand, a black eye and bruising around her neck. It's uncertain exactly what happened, as both involved gave conflicting testimony, police said. Karbalaei-Nemat-Moeeney told police that Haddadi was upset after he saw her talking to another man. He choked her and shoved her against a wall, she said. A witness also told police that she saw Haddadi choking the woman. When police questioned Haddadi, they found him with several scratches on his face and a wound on his hand >>>
