Bucks' Sanders injures thumb, police investigating

Starting center Larry Sanders was out of the Milwaukee Bucks lineup Wednesday night against Cleveland and apparently his absence stemmed from an off-court incident that occurred early Sunday morning.

"I'm not sure exactly what happened," Bucks coach Larry Drew said. "Right now, it's under investigation."

TMJ4 cited police sources saying Sanders was involved in a bar fight at Apartment 720 in downtown Milwaukee. The report said Sanders allegedly broke champagne bottles over one man's head in the night club's VIP room and punched another man in the face.
