One year later, in different incident, the former NBA player was jailed on a third-degree felony charge of assaulting a 30-year-old woman by choking or strangulation, according to Bexar County arrest records. He was jailed on a $7,500 bond.

According to San Antonio police, officers responded to a call at 2:17 a.m. on Monday saying that Forbes had allegedly assaulted a person described as "an ex-significant other." Forbes reportedly fled the scene before being taken into custody late Tuesday morning.

According to court documents, Forbes struck the mother of his two children before choking her. He allegedly told her "if you can speak then you are not being choked" when she told him she couldn’t breathe.

Forbes, 30, played parts of seven seasons in the NBA with four teams, including the San Antonio Spurs. He last played for the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2022-23. He averaged 8.8 points in 431 games (167 starts) with the Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets and Timberwolves. He won an NBA championship with Milwaukee in 2021.

The incident comes one year after Forbes was arrested in San Antonio on suspicion of assault with bodily injury.
