NEW YORK -- New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arraigned on two
felony weapons possession charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday.

followed an early morning arrest after a lawyer for his wife turned in a loaded
semi-automatic handgun allegedly belonging to the basketball star to a police
precinct, claiming she no longer wanted it in their home, authorities said.
Wearing a black sweatshirt with a peace sign and other symbols on it, Felton was
seemingly upbeat as he appeared before Judge Diana Boyar, nodding affirmatively
after he was ordered to stay away from his wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton. He did
not enter a plea, which is common for this stage in the case. "Mr. Felton has no
interest in having contact" with her, one of his lawyers, James Walden, told the
judge. Court records show she filed for divorce from Felton last week. Felton
was released on $25,000 bail and was ushered into a black SUV following his
arraignment. Under the terms of his bond, Felton can travel to games, bail
bondsman Ira Judelson said. Prosecutors said they were told Felton stored the
Belgian-made FN Herstal model handgun in the home from August through February.
A lawyer for Feltons wife, a student at Fordham University School of Law,
dropped off the weapon at a stationhouse on Manhattans upper West Side on Monday
evening, shortly before tipoff of the Knicks game against the Dallas Mavericks
at Madison Square Garden, police said. The gun had 18 rounds of live ammunition
in its magazine, which can hold about 20 rounds, prosecutors said. He was
charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and criminal
possession of a firearm. The firearm charge is punishable by up to four years in
prison. The weapons charge is punishable by up to seven years in prison. The
section under which he was charged concerns having a large-capacity ammunition
magazine. Police had arrested Felton on charges that included a mid-level
weapons-possession charge that can entail having a loaded gun outside ones home
or business or having a loaded gun with the intention to use it against someone.
The DAs office didnt comment on why prosecutors chose the charges they did; its
not uncommon for charges to change between arrest and arraignment. Investigators
reached Felton by contacting the director of security at Madison Square Garden
after his wife made a statement to detectives Monday night, police said. Felton
turned himself in at 12:50 a.m. Tuesday, not long after the Knicks buzzer-beater
loss to Dallas, police said. The former University of North Carolina star made
no statement after he arrived at the precinct with a lawyer, police said. A
Knicks spokesman has said the team had no immediate comment. An attorney for
Raymondo-Felton didnt comment. The Knicks had no game scheduled Tuesday. Felton
had eight points and seven assists Monday in the Knicks 110-108 loss to Dallas.
The Knicks brought the point guard back for a second stint in New York in July
2012, opting to let Jeremy Lin leave, and Felton helped the Knicks win the
Atlantic Division last year. But he has had a disappointing season, averaging
10.4 points and shooting 40 per cent while missing 16 games with a series of
injuries. He has been frequently criticized by fans as the Knicks have fallen to
21-36. NBA spokesman Tim Frank said the league was monitoring the case. It could
fine or suspend Felton, but usually waits until after the legal case has been
resolved. The league did break from that policy to suspend Gilbert Arenas for
the remainder of the season after he brought guns to the Washington Wizards
locker room during the 2009-10 season. He was eventually sentenced to 30 days in
a halfway house. Felton is not the first pro athlete to run afoul of New Yorks
strict gun laws. Plaxico Burress was a New York Giants wide receiver when he was
arrested in 2008 after accidentally shooting himself in a Manhattan nightclub.
He served two years in prison. Fighter Robert Guerrero was arrested at John F.
Kennedy Airport last year after he presented a locked gun box containing an
unloaded handgun during check-in. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and
was ordered to pay a $250 fine and complete 50 hours of community service. In
other high-profile cases, multiplatinum-selling rappers Lil Wayne and Ja Rule
both were arrested in Manhattan, separately, on gun-possession charges in their
vehicles after leaving the same concert they had both played in 2007. Both
pleaded guilty to attempted gun possession charges; Lil Wayne spent about eight
months in a city jail; Ja Rule served most of a two-year prison sentence. Felton
is set to earn $3.8 million next season and has a player option that would pay
him $4 million in 2015-16. The Knicks could attempt to void the contract, but
that would likely be challenged by the players association.

. Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to
2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They
also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest
Division.SALT LAKE CITY - Now that Tim Duncan is playing well again, the last
thing he wants to do is sit. Duncan told teammate Tony Parker he was "very
convincing" when lobbying San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich to keep him in the
lineup, even if it was the Spurs fourth game in five nights and they were facing
the team with the worst record in the Western Conference. Popovich usually rests
his 37-year-old forward during stretches like this, but Duncan rewarded the club
with another double-double. He had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Spurs
to their fourth straight victory Saturday night, 100-84 over the Utah Jazz.
Sparked by his 23-point, 21-rebound performance against Atlanta on Dec. 2,
Duncan has returned to vintage form after a slow start to the season. He is
averaging 17 points and 13 rebounds over his last six games. "The first 20
games, its not really that hard to do much better," Duncan said. "Im still not
shooting the ball well, but Im trying to play hard and find ways to contribute."
Kawhi Leonard added 13 points to help the Spurs (19-4) coast comfortably past
the Jazz (6-20) after a big first-half run. "We were never worried about Timmy.
Ive been saying (it) since the beginning of the season," said Parker, who had 15
points. "Hes the last guy we ever need to worry about. But now hes getting
aggressive and hes getting his shot back." From the beginning, the Jazz
pressured Parker and dared Duncan to shoot open elbow jumpers. Duncan missed his
first three outside shots. "He executed well, the shots just didnt go down. But
he kept playing like he always does, so it was great," Popovich said. Trey Burke
had 20 points and Gordon Hayward scored 18 for the Jazz, who shot 39 per cent
from the field. The Jazz were coming off consecutive road wins, including a
103-93 victory Friday night in Denver. They had reached 100 points in three of
the last four games but were no match for San Antonios smothering defence. "We
didnt play with the pep we have had the last few games because of the
back-to-back. But I thought the effort was there, just didnt have the same
spark," coach Tyrone Corbin said. On the other end, the Spurs set a series of
picks to allow penetration and then passes for open 3-pointers. If that failed,
they went to their famously fundamental post player on the block. In just 28
minutes, Duncan showed much of his repertoire with bank shots, fallaways, hooks
and tip-ins. "In the post, hes aggressive and making strong moves," said Parker,
who was creative in getting Duncan the ball where he could gain confidence. San
Antonio played its fourth consecuttive game without the defensive influence of
starting centre Tiago Splitter, who has a strained calf.

Precio. The Spurs, per 100 possessions, score 14 more points than
they give up when Splitter is on the floor. But they hardly missed him against
the Jazz in the first of a four-game road trip for the Spurs, who are 10-2 away
from home. "They are a veteran club. They know what to do, when to do it and how
to do it. They showed us," Corbin said. On Nov. 15 in Utah, the Spurs needed a
fourth-quarter rally to wipe away a seven-point deficit and win 91-82. Parker
scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter of that one. After a dreadful
start when Burke was out with a broken finger, the Jazz recovered enough to
split their last 10 games. The rookie point guard was hot early and gave Parker
a taste of his own medicine on a series of floaters and step-back jumpers in the
first half. More than 6 minutes into the game, the Spurs had only six points.
But over the remainder of the first half, they used an especially efficient
offence to build a 55-40 lead at the break. The reserves, led by Marco Belinelli
and Patty Mills, sparked a 21-6 run to help San Antonio gain control. "Our job
is to come off the bench and bring that extra gear to turn it up a bit,
intensity-wise. It starts on defence and if we can capitalize, it translates to
good offence," Mills said. Belinelli and Manu Ginobili each had 11 points off
the San Antonio bench, which contributed 47 points. The Spurs outrebounded the
Jazz 55-42 and outscored Utah 50-36 in the paint. "They hit the glass really
hard and they have a lot of big bodies, so we knew that was going to be a big
part of us winning this game. But we had good focus from everybody and when the
balls were there to be had, we just went and got them," Duncan said.
Richard Jefferson made a 3-pointer to draw the Jazz within double digits for the
only time in the second half at 61-52, but Duncan scored twice around a
3-pointer by Leonard and the Spurs were back in control. "It was a very good win
against a young team that is starting to play better. We respect them and did a
good job of playing horn to horn," Duncan said. NOTES: Utah C Rudy Gobert and G
Ian Clark were assigned to the clubs D-League affiliate in Bakersfield. Both
earned playing time earlier this season when the Jazz were dealing with multiple
injuries. ... Belinelli made all three of his 3-point attempts to improve his
NBA-leading mark to 56.5 per cent. ... Jeremy Evans matched his career high with
11 rebounds for Utah. . Oddly, the Jazz had a season-high 11 blocks to one for
the Spurs.
