SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Laker and former Sacramento King Matt Barnes will have to wait to find out whether he will formally face domestic violence charges.
A judge on Monday agreed to delay a decision until Oct. 18.
The district attorney is seeking more time to make a determination.
Barnes, who appeared briefly in court Monday, was arrested Wednesday after authorities were called to his Fair Oaks home. He is now free on bail.
The call was allegedly made by Barnes' fiancee, Gloria Govan. Barnes is also accused of trying to stop the call.
Responding deputies found both Barnes and Govan suffering from injuries.
Govan, whose been featured on VH1's “Basketball Wives," has twin boys with Barnes.
Govan has since denied there was a physical confrontation leading to Barnes' arrest, but she has not said why she called 911.
Barnes was a standout in basketball and football at Del Campo High School. He went on be a basketball star at UCLA. He's played for eight NBA teams in nine years.
The Lakers' training camp is set to begin Sept. 25, so Barnes may be missing some of that with obligations in Sacramento on Oct. 18.
