Pero Antic said he and Atlanta Hawks teammate Thabo Sefolosha were not with Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland when Copeland was stabbed outside a Manhattan nightclub.
Antic and Sefolosha were at the scene early Wednesday. They were charged with obstructing authorities and disorderly conduct and were released without bail.
'We don't have nothing to do with what happened with that,'' Antic said. ''We weren't together. We didn't even see the guy and whatever happened, happened way before. I would say that it's a pure example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.''
