The home of Stanley Johnson, a player for the Turkish basketball club Anadolu Efes, was shot at while the athlete was inside. Two bullets struck the building, located in the Kagithane area, and a third pierced the apartment on the floor below.

Details: According to EKOL TV, Johnson was unharmed in the incident. The Istanbul police immediately launched a search for the suspects, and the 28-year-old basketball player plans to file a lawsuit.

Recall: This summer, Johnson signed with Anadolu Efes after spending nine seasons in the NBA and G-League. Selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 8th pick in the 2015 draft, he played for teams such as Detroit, New Orleans Pelicans, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs.

Last season, Johnson played for the Stockton Kings, a team affiliated with the Sacramento Kings in the G-League. Over his NBA career, he appeared in 449 games, averaging 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.

At Anadolu Efes, he has played two EuroLeague games but has yet to meet expectations. His statistics are 2.5 points, 2 rebounds, and a 3.0 rating in just over 12 minutes of play.
