What Happened on That Fateful Night in Calabasas?
On a Sunday evening in Calabasas, California, Owens became involved in an intense basketball match when he engaged in an altercation with another player that escalated quickly into an angry argument between verbal clashes and physical play.
The disagreement didn’t seem to cool down even after the game concluded. According to sources like TMZ, the man Owens argued with took things to a disturbing level by striking Owens with his car, targeting one of his knees.
Surprisingly, Owens didn’t sustain any serious injuries from the encounter.Although he avoided hospitalization, this incident has spurred an ongoing investigation from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. To date, however, details surrounding what exactly precipitated their disagreement have remained obscure and have yet to be made available publicly.
How Did Owens Rise to NFL Fame?
Owens was selected in the third round of the 1996 NFL Draft by the 49ers and quickly established himself on the field. His athletic prowess had long been evident from Chattanooga and brought that energy with him into NFL competition – playing for teams such as Eagles, Cowboys, Bills and Bengals throughout his career.
His on-field achievements are remarkable. Amassing 15,934 receiving yards, he stands third on the all-time list, surpassed only by legends Larry Fitzgerald and Jerry Rice. Owens’ induction into the Hall of Fame in 2018 solidified his place among football greats.
What Has Owens Been Up To Since Leaving the NFL?
Retiring from the league in 2010, Owens has been far from inactive. His love for sports remains evident. Not only has he dropped hints about possibly returning to the NFL, but he also ventured into the Fan Controlled Football league. Impressively, even at the age of 48, Owens showcased his enduring athleticism by clocking a sub-4.50 second 40-yard dash.

The basketball court altercation isn’t Owens’ first brush with controversy in recent years. In a separate incident last year, video footage captured Owens physically confronting an alleged heckler in a CVS parking lot. The man was accused of directing offensive gestures and threats at Owens, leading to the altercation.
