Long Island Nets guard Terry Roberts was shot in the upper chest Sunday in Philadelphia, but survived and is expected to recover.
The 23-year-old was hit by a stray bullet Sunday morning after a gunfight broke out outside a Philadelphia bar, according to both the Long Island Nets and local police.
“Terry Roberts was the victim of a crime on Sunday morning in Philadelphia, and we are in the process of gathering more information about the incident,” the team said in a statement.
“He is currently in stable condition, and he is expected to make a full recovery. Our thoughts are with him and family at this time.
“Due to the ongoing law enforcement investigation, we will have no further comment.”
After getting shot, Roberts was found on the sidewalk at around 12:45 a.m. outside the 5th Street Lounge on North Fifth Street, per authorities.
He was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in critical condition.
Roberts has since been taken off a ventilator and spoke with his parents on Monday.
“He’s healing,” Roberts’ mother told ABC 7. “He’s doing well. He is in a state of shock. This is a traumatic situation that’s happened.”
So far, the shooting remains under investigation.

But Philadelphia police confirmed that Roberts isn’t involved in the altercation.
“Preliminary investigations suggest that multiple offenders believed to have exited a Silver Nissan Altima indiscriminately fired shots toward patrons outside the lounge before fleeing the scene,” Philadelphia police said in a statement.
“In response, an armed private security guard arriving at the venue returned fire, though it remains uncertain whether any of the offenders were struck.”
