Personal life[edit] On April 8, 2015, Sefolosha and teammate Pero Antić were arrested outside a nightclub in New York City for allegedly interfering with police after Chris Copeland of the Indiana Pacers was stabbed in the abdomen following an argument.[14] During the altercation, the NYPD officers broke Sefolosha's right leg, shutting him down for the rest of the season.[15] He underwent surgery on April 16, to repair a fractured tibia and ligament damage.[16] On September 9, 2015, Sefolosha refused a no-plea bargain the prosecutor had offered him, even though his attorney, Alex Spiro, urged him to take it.[17] Sefolosha said that he wanted to let the case proceed to trial instead; at the same time, charges against Antić were dropped.[18] Sefolosha's court hearing was set on October 5, 2015.[19] On October 9, a Manhattan jury found him not guilty of all three misdemeanor charges: obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.[20] On October 21, 2015, Sefolosha announced he would be suing the city of New York as well as eight police officers for up to $50 million in damages.[21] On April 9, 2017, it was announced Sefolosha had settled with the NYPD for $4 million, a "substantial portion" of which he donated to Gideon's Promise, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating public defenders.[22] wiki
