TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Basketball star Quincy Davis was detained after an alleged fight with his ex-wife in front of a police station in Taoyuan City, reports said Saturday (May 13).
In 2013, Davis was the first prominent foreign athlete to become a naturalized citizen of Taiwan and give up his United States passport, the Liberty Times reported. He is playing for the New Taipei Kings in the P. League+ (PLG).
He married a Taiwanese woman in 2021, and together they had a daughter. However, last September they reportedly filed for divorce.
There was an incident in the Zhongli District on Saturday evening with pushing and shoving between the two, but as the wife had a restraining order against him, it was Davis, 40, who was detained by police. He was later released on bail of NT$100,000 (US$3,200), per CNA.
Last year, the PLG reportedly considered listing him as a foreign player despite his Taiwanese citizenship. The incident left him considering retirement from the sport.
