Given how serious the allegations were, that he violently struck his child and drew blood, it was no secret that the way Holmes was viewed around the league was in question.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the allegations surfacing, Holmes made it crystal clear that he was denying any and all accusations against him. Despite that, the narrative he and his legal team believe the outlet tried to spin is one that has continued to have an impact on Holmes\u2019 both on and off the court.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of Tweets that were eventually deleted, he stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI never respond to allegations but when it\u2019s comes to my son I gotta speak,\u201d Holmes wrote. \u201cYou have to be goofy as hell to believe that about me&#8230;my heart BEATS for my son i live this very life to see him happy and could never raise a hand to harm him EVER.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The NBA community was quick to rally around Richaun Holmes, with many backing him up in his claims against the Sacramento Bee. This season Holmes has largely fallen out of the Sacramento Kings rotation after the team acquired Domantas Sabonis. After playing 23.9 minutes per game last season, he\u2019s averaging just 8.7 minutes per game this season as the Sacramento Kings sit in third place in the West.<\/p>\n<p>Below you can see one of Holmes biggest highlights, his poster over Rudy Gobert.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/youtube\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Richaun Holmes Puts Rudy Gobert on a Poster \ud83d\udd25\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6JM_Z1juLfY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/youtube\" data-embed=\"6JM_Z1juLfY\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/f1bc4-16778896013861-1920.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/staticc.sportskeeda.com\/editor\/2023\/03\/f1bc4-16778896013861-1920.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 8px 21px 0; overflow: visible !important;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-info-container\">\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Joseph Schiefelbein<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-what-richaun-holmes-accused-sued-sacramento-bee-details-domestic-abuse-case-explained?utm_source=feed&#038;utm_medium=referral&#038;utm_campaign=sportskeeda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes was accused of domestic violence towards his son and his ex-wife last season.
