2 US basketball players stabbed in Romania

Two US basketball players sustained serious injuries when they were stabbed at a club in eastern Romania, local authorities say. Darrell Bowie, 24, and Joseph McClain, 25, who both play for a local club, ACS Cuza Braila, were attacked on Saturday night as they engaged in a fight with locals, according to police.

McClain suffered stab injuries to his chest and stomach, and he remains in intensive care but is in a “stable” condition, a local hospital official said. Bowie, who played in 33 games with nine starts for the Iowa State Cyclones in 2016-2017, suffered multiple abdominal wounds and was transported to Romania’s capital, Bucharest, the official said, adding that the athlete's condition is “unpredictable.”
