Indiana Pacers guard Jamaal Tinsley and teammate Marquis Daniels surrendered to police early yesterday, hours after being charged in a Feb. 6 bar fight.
Tinsley and Daniels played in the Pacers' 136-129 double-overtime win against Milwaukee on Wednesday night, following which they surrendered to police in downtown Indianapolis about 12:15am, Captain Dave Wilkes said.
They were expected to appear before a judge overnight for an initial hearing at which a court date would be set.
Earlier in the day, Marion County grand jury indicted Tinsley on a felony charge of intimidation and misdemeanor counts of battery, disorderly conduct and intimidation for the fight at 8 Seconds Saloon, said Matthew Symons, spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor.
Daniels was charged with battery and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, Symons said.
Lawyers for both players said they would enter pleas of not guilty to the charges.
No one was immediately arrested or charged after the fight, which happened hours after a home loss to Golden State.
Instead, a grand jury was convened to examine the evidence and decide whether charges should be filed.
