East Kilbride: So, there’s this guy, Malik Dunbar, who’s in a bit of hot water. He’s been playing basketball for the Caledonia Gladiators, but here’s the kicker—he’s a suspect in a murder case back in the US.
He signed with the team in December, just two months after a shooting incident in Georgia where a man named Arthur Braxton was killed. It’s a pretty wild situation, right?
Arthur was shot outside a restaurant in Augusta, and it’s been a tough time for his family. Malik, who’s from North Augusta, is now under investigation, and the local sheriff’s office has confirmed he’s a suspect.
The Gladiators say they had no idea about any of this when they brought him on board. They’re now looking into the matter internally, which sounds like a smart move.
Interestingly, just a few weeks after joining, both Malik and another player had their contracts terminated for a “serious breach of club discipline.” What that means exactly, we don’t know yet.
Malik had been making a name for himself in the basketball world, playing in various leagues, including overseas. He even had a stint with the Golden State Warriors during the Summer League.
Since joining the Gladiators, he’s played eight games, but the team is struggling at the bottom of the league. He’s got a decent following on social media, and it seems like he was enjoying his time in Scotland.
In a recent Instagram post, he shared a moment with a teammate, but it was a bit cryptic. The team’s not doing great, and now with all this drama, it’s a tough spot for everyone involved.
It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The Gladiators are in a tough position, and Malik’s future in basketball is looking uncertain.
