Blazers’ Trevor Ariza Being Accused of Child Abuse by the Mother of His Son

SJ - September 2, 2020

Blazers' Trevor Ariza is facing claims that he physically abused his 12-year-old son on multiple occasions. The accuser is Lana Allen, the mother of his son.

Allen is seeking a restraining order on behalf of her son. Ariza is denying the claims of abuse.

From TMZ Sports:

The 35-year-old Portland Trail Blazers star opted out of the NBA restart in the Orlando bubble -- reportedly to spend time with his son.

Ariza and the mother of his child, Lana Allen, have been locked in a custody battle for a while.

But, Allen recently filed new court documents in Los Angeles accusing Ariza of carrying out a pattern of domestic violence against the child, dating back to 2019.

The details are graphic -- but the allegations are that Ariza, a strong, pro athlete, clearly crossed a line when dishing out corporal punishment on at least two occasions.

Ariza opted out of the bubble to spend time with his son. That appears to be easier said than done.

These custody battles can get ugly at times. Let's hope the claims of abuse aren't true...
