First the rape thingy and now this:

DENVER -- Julius Hodge of the Denver Nuggets was shot and wounded early Saturday, Adams County sheriff's deputies said.


Hodge

Hodge was struck several times in his lower body and has been taken to a hospital but his condition wasn't immediately available.

The sheriff's office said Hodge was driving on Interstate 76 in the Denver area at about 2 a.m. when another vehicle pulled alongside and someone inside started shooting.

Another motorist stopped and took Hodge to a hospital.

Authorities said the motive for the shooting wasn't known and they appealed to any witnesses to come forward.

The 22-year-old Hodge was the Nuggets' first-round draft pick in 2005. He was recalled from the NBA Developmental League last month to replace guard Earl Boykins after Boykins broke his hand.

And I agree he needs to distance himself from all that trouble.

Worst luck but best luck too...

Even though he was shot "several times," the latest reports are that he will make a full recovery, and George Karl said he should be able to play in two or three weeks!!!

to say this at this point with the details that are out right now is ridiculous. Supposedly hodge was on the interstate driving at 2am...not unusual for an nba player, and a vehicle pulled up beside his vehicle and shot it up. I assume it was a nice vehicle, hence jealousy etc.

now I dont know anymore than you, but to say that about this young guy is out of line imo. I went to nc state the same years he was there and there was NEVER any out of line conduct on the part of hodge....a stand up guy all around. Just look at what Karl had to say about him and that gives you an idea of his character.

after saying that awesome news he is expected to recover fully....get well soon jules.

The rape thing was BS. The entire thing ended abruptly, no payment or anything. The woman was twice his age and there was absolutely no evidence. In fact, the woman was sent to jail for filing a false police report.

Must be a lot of golddiggers in Colorado.

Wasn't DJ Quik who said "Denver, is just like Compton"?

Tough break. Glad it wasn't life threatening.

Remember Paul Pierce, almost stabbed to death a few years back?

Whish him a full recovery anyway.
