Seton Hall basketball star and NBA prospect Jeremy Hazell was shot in the back early yesterday during a fracas outside his Harlem home, police said. Rest of story after break.
Hazell, 24, a 6-foot-5 senior who opted to remain in school this year instead of entering the NBA draft before graduating, suffered a minor gunshot wound after an argument outside the Carver Houses along East 104th Street, officials said.
According to cops, Hazell, who has been on the shelf with a wrist injury since November, was hanging out with several people shortly before 3 a.m. when an argument turned violent. There were no arrests.
It was not immediately clear whether Hazell knew the assailant.
Hazell spent much of the day holed up with relatives in his Harlem apartment, where detectives came to investigate.
Hazell was shot in the lower back on the right side. He was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital, where he was treated and released.
A relative who answered the door at Hazell's apartment yesterday afternoon declined to comment.
