The report said Alexis went to Stoudemire’s home after the teenager made “a plea for help,” per the Herald.
Stoudemire allegedly told police that his daughter “received a whooping from him for being disrespectful and a liar,” per the Herald.
According to Miami-Dade Corrections records, Stoudemire was arrested and released with a bond set at $1,500. He is also facing a misdemeanor battery charge, according to the report.
Hours before “whopping” his teen daughter, Stoudemire graduated from the University of Miami with a master’s degree, according to reporter Andy Slater.
“Congrats Stat! ???? @univmiami grad,” the Knicks wrote Saturday morning in a congratulatory tweet.
