From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Awvee Storey (born April 18, 1977 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American professional basketball player.

[1] Awvee Storey also played for NBA's New Jersey Nets and Washington Wizards. He attended the University of Illinois and Arizona State University.

[edit] Problems

Storey's punch during practice on December 21, 2006, resulted in "a skull fracture, severe concussion and a two-centimeter hematoma on the left side of his brain" for the 7'2" Martynas Andriuskevicius.[2] A criminal investigation was not undertaken because Andriuskevicius did not wish to file a complaint. Storey was subsequently suspended indefinitely while an investigation by both the NBA and the NBDL takes place. [3] Andriuskevicius has said that Storey has yet to apologize for the incident [1].

"Storey and Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas were arrested over Memorial Day (2006) weekend in Miami Beach for refusing to obey police. The charges later were dropped."[4]
