ESPN - Former NBA player Johnny Newman was sentenced to 60 days in jail and fined $500 for assaulting his wife.
The 41-year-old Newman was convicted Monday of domestic assault and battery, and the jail term was suspended. An appeal is scheduled Jan. 11 in Henrico County Circuit Court.
Dawnn Lewis Newman, 45, an actress who has appeared in the TV show "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper," said in an emergency-protection order that Newman attacked her Sept. 3 in his suburban Richmond home.
She said Newman grabbed her by the throat, threatened to kill her and dragged her down a set of stairs by her legs.
Not a bad looking woman. If Newman showed half that amount of determination on the court he would have been an all world defender
