Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson says officers went to the facility Aug. 13 after a report of an altercation involving Smith and another player in a pickup game. The other player isn’t in the NBA.
Jackson said Thursday that a complaint against Smith was investigated and the district attorney declined to pursue it, but the investigation has been reopened because another witness came forward.
The Nuggets didn’t return a message to The Associated Press.
Smith served 24 days in a New Jersey correctional facility last year after pleading guilty to reckless driving in a car crash that killed a friend.
