Police tell NBC10 that a 21-year-old woman was taken from the Four Seasons Hotel on 18th and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to a local hospital just before 4 a.m. The woman told police she was sexually assaulted by someone inside the hotel, according to investigators.
Police say Andray Blatche, a 26-year-old power forward/center on the Brooklyn Nets, was in the hotel suite at the time of the alleged incident but was not in the bedroom where it may have occurred. The Nets are scheduled to play the 76ers tonight at 7 p.m.
Blatche, a 41-year-old man, and a 25-year-old man were all taken into custody for questioning, according to investigators.
NBC10 spoke to Blatche about the incident. Blatche claimed he didn't know what we were talking about. He also tweeted the following:
I'm ok and I didn't do anything. Just was in the area when it happened.
The Brooklyn Nets released the following statement in regards to the incident:
We are aware of the ongoing police investigation regarding a member of the Brooklyn Nets. We will have no further comment until the investigation has concluded. All of our players are available for tonight's game.
No one has been charged in the incident. Police continue to investigate.

Welcome to Philadelphia. (Detroit East)
:)
AKA Bronx west and Compton Far East
what an amazing story. how about waiting until ANY details come out?
BREAKING NEWS: A THING HAPPENED AT A PLACE, details later...
Yes, but it was an expensive place.
The kind of place where people high up on the socio-economic ladder visit.
The kind of place Bernie Madoff could afford, unlike yourself. ;)
NBC Reporter, to the publishers: "You start writing ..... I'll try to find out what happened."
sweetsweetdrew - thanks for the BREAKING NEWS chuckle ~cat
That's the right on man, you said it all.
The headline made me think a Nets Player was arrested for rape. Now I see he was just questioned about what he might know. Great reporting.
TFNJ, I really wish NBC wouldn't do this constantly, it seems like a trashy tabloid tactic. NBC is so misleading with their headlines that they are either doing it on purpose or just plain stupid. Either way, it's annoying or stupid.
Philly is a dump, a co-worker and I were staying at a nice hotel near Franklin square and someone broke into his hotel room at night
Stupid waste of space - No details
You have to be kidding!!! What the f*&k has happened to "NEWS REPORTING" Couldn't find a sexual assault at Motel 6?
So after posting a 4-12 season the Eagles cheerleaders went on a "sexual assaulting" spree? and I MISSED IT.....???......bummer.
seriously though;
IS THE WHOLE ARTICLE.....Unreal.
wow an "update" reported 5 min. ago.
Was added....and the plot ...thins...
hey Scooter,
Wow, I am thinking that there may not be anything, but yet something. It did, but didn't happen. It will, but it won't be followed up on.
Kinda pathetic.
So the fact that a Nets player happened to be in the same hotel IS the news? Talk about misleading, as if the Nets player was a rapist.
Well, this is a total non-story. Something happened to someone somewhere.
blue media reporting on a blue city in a blue county in a blue state sounds about like a normal blue day to me
Now back to reality.
define "reality"
Four Seasons, one Brooklyn Nets player, one suite, Philadelphia . . .
Let your imaginations run wild!
Philly Law Enforcement cant investigate chit from the top down. They prove it everyday!
tfnj , not the same hotel, SAME SUITE
