"Boston Celtics guard and former Crane High School star Tony Allen sparked a confrontation that led to the shooting of a Hinsdale man last weekend, the victim and his attorney claimed Thursday. Chicago Police said they want to interview Allen, 23, but they are not calling him a suspect." Chicago Sun-Times

"Allen's lawyer, Michael Zaslavsky, refused to say when his client might talk to detectives. "[Allen] is not a suspect," Zaslavsky said. "According to [Thursday's Chicago Sun-Times], he's accused of no wrongdoing. But if there is an ongoing investigation, I can't comment on that." Chicago Sun-Times

"I was shot at close range,'' Johnson said Thursday in a telephone interview. "The doctor said if I didn't put my hand up . . . I would have been shot in the head." Johnson said he didn't know the shooter but would be able to recognize him again. The shooter was part of a large entourage that accompanied Allen into the restaurant, said Johnson's lawyer, Rahsaan A. Gordon." Chicago Sun-Times

"Gordon said Allen and Johnson engaged in "verbal jabbing" and "posturing" months ago. Johnson -- and perhaps Allen -- attended a huge Saturday night party for Celtics guard Will Bynum at a club on Canal, sources said. There are conflicting accounts about whether there was a confrontation at the gathering." Chicago Sun-Times

"Johnson "is inside the restaurant, standing at a counter waiting to be seated," Gordon said, adding Johnson was with several others. "A short time later [around 3:30 a.m.], Tony Allen comes in with a large group of 10 to 15 people. Immediately when he comes in, he spots Marktwain Johnson and he begins to go into his tirade." "F--- him up," Allen told the shooter, according to Gordon." Chicago Sun-Times

"The Celtics are closely monitoring reports that guard Tony Allen is being sought by police in connection with a shooting at a popular Chicago restaurant. The Chicago Sun-Times reported yesterday that police want to question Allen, who grew up in Chicago and was a high school star in the area, about the shooting that took place early Sunday. Police sources said a local man, who may have had a dispute with Allen, was wounded in the shooting." Boston Herald

"We are aware of the situation and are concerned for Tony,'' Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said yesterday. ``We understand that he's safe and that he's fine. Because it is a legal matter and because it happened away from the basketball court, we are deferring most of the calls to Tony Allen's representatives." Boston Herald
