The legendary Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics star is one of the best big men in NBA history. He helped lead the Celtics to an NBA championship in 2008. The longtime NBA star went straight to the league out of high school.

Unfortunately, according to TMZ Sports, Garnett and his girlfriend, Teare Candelier, had an incident that led to police getting called to their house.

The incident allegedly happened early in the morning on April 27. The incident allegedly happened at about 2 a.m. Candelier reportedly called the police.

Garnett had reportedly left the residence by the time the authorities showed up.

However, a police report was still taken. His girlfriend reportedly refused to get medical treatment when she was asked if she needed it.

The legendary NBA star allegedly “moved Candelier out of a doorway” when he was trying to leave the residence.

Garnett and his girlfriend released a joint statement regarding the matter.

“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.”

Garnett has stayed close to the game since retiring. He co-hosts a podcast with his former Boston Celtics teammate, Paul Pierce, and he’s been active during the 2025 NBA postseason.
