Citing law enforcement sources who are unidentified, the report alleges that Garnett left the house when police showed up. With that being said, a report was still reportedly written up by cops, with Candelier allegedly declining medical assistance when questioned if she needed help.
It’s being reported that Garnett was trying to deescalate the situation by exiting and allegedly “moved Candelier out of a doorway” during so.

A joint statement was issued by the couple, per TMZ.
“We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities. It was never our intention to involve others in a moment that should have remained private. Like most couples, we have disagreements, but our commitment to each other remains strong, and we move forward with renewed respect, understanding and love.”
Currently 48 years old, Garnett suited up in the NBA for 21 years, and in 2020, was placed into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Garnett won a championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008.
Garnett’s resume includes being a 15-time All-Star, named to the NBA All-Defensive first team nine times and winning the NBA rebounding title four times. Nowadays, he co-hosts a podcast with ex-Celtics teammate Paul Pierce.
