Former College Basketball Star Corey Manigault Viciously Attacked Outside of Europe Night Club

After celebrating a win with his teammates in Europe, former collegiate basketball star Corey Manigault was viciously attacked.

Manigault is now a professional basketball player in Cyprus after previously playing for the University of Pittsburgh and the University of New Mexico.

On Dec. 3, his mother, Sothia Green, received a call informing her that her son was in the hospital in the middle of the night, reported WUSA.

According to reports, she didn’t have all the specifics. Still, she was told that Manigault and his teammates went to a nightclub in Nicosia, Cyprus, after celebrating a basketball game win, where he was beaten outside of the club.

Manigault suffered severe injuries, including a cerebral hemorrhage and hematoma.

From Nov. 21 to Dec. 1, Manigault, 23, was in a critical care unit but is now healing in a neurology ward. When his mother arrived, he was unable to talk due to intubation and sedation.

Green is concerned that her son, who has not been charged with any wrongdoing, is being mistreated and may not be receiving the best care possible.

“They have him restrained to the bed … in soft restraints,” she told WUSA. “I have not seen him stand. They’re saying that he was standing … So I’m not quite sure of who to believe and what to believe.”

Things were even more difficult due to the language barrier in the Greek and Turkish-speaking country.

“I don’t know where he was going … I’m still unaware of the events of what happened,” Green said, adding that she hasn’t received much help.

According to reports, Green is more concerned with getting her son home.
