Eric Bledsoe domestic abuse case: Tracing incident timeline and other details
Eric Bledsoe shocked the NBA world with his domestic violence case. The former LA Clippers point guard was arrested last week, but it appears that he will walk away without charges.
Bledsoe last played for the Clippers, but didn't receive a new contract for the 2022-23 season. The domestic abuse case made the situation even more difficult for him, but it's been dismissed and the guard may get a new contract soon.
This article will reveal everything we know about Eric Bledsoe's domestic abuse case. We will take a deeper look at Bledsoe's relationship with the alleged victim of the abuse.
Eric Bledsoe's domestic abuse case has been declined
The former NBA player was arrested on domestic abuse charges on Wednesday, Oct. 26. Bledose was detained for almost four hours, but the police did not confirm the identity of the victim.
After his arrest, Eric Bledsoe's girlfriend posted a picture of herself after the incident. Briona Mae, 29, called her boyfriend out for domestic violence and said that it's happened a few times in the past as well.
"This wasn't the first time, but I sat here and stayed, so it's my fault," Mae's Instagram caption stated. "Eric Bledsoe really is a monster."

The Instagram post also shows the former NBA player saying that he will slap his girlfriend again. Mae took down the Instagram post for some reason. However, as soon as she posted it, many NBA fans turned against the point guard and believed that his career was over.
Bledsoe and Mae welcomed twins just a few months ago. Unfortunately, it appears that their relationship has gone downhill since then. It's important to note that no charges have been pressed against the former NBA player.
On Monday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney revealed that the case has been declined due to insufficient evidence. Considering that his girlfriend took the post down, it is very unlikely that the guard will get into trouble.
Bledsoe's NBA career
During his peak, Eric Bledsoe was a great two-way player. Despite standing at only 6-foot-1, the guard played with a lot of heart and even earned the "Mini LeBron" nickname due to his amazing performances.
Bledsoe played for four different teams during his professional NBA career, but his best performances came in Phoenix. As a member of the Phoenix Suns, the 12-year NBA veteran averaged 18.8 points, six assists and 1.6 steals.
Eric Bledsoe also had many amazing performances with the LA Clippers. This is the last team that he's played for. Unfortunately, the guard was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this year, but he was sidelined with an injury.
Bledsoe is 32 and could potentially be a decent role player. However, considering that he's coming off an injury and that he was arrested for domestic violence, there aren't many teams that are willing to give him a new contract.
