Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs is being accused of choking, slapping, biting and pushing a woman he was in a relationship with. The Latvian-born basketball player had his arraignment at Kings County Criminal Court in Brooklyn on Tuesday, and now he could be facing immigration issues.

According to a report from Sports Illustrated's legal analyst Michael McCann, Kurucs has been charged with third-degree assault and other misdemeanor charges. The details of the allegations have not been fully released, but it is said that he became enraged during an argument with the alleged victim on Thursday, June 27.

The purported incident occurred in his Brooklyn apartment. According to an account shared by the complainant with prosecutors, Kurucs allegedly screamed that he was going to “kill” himself. This account depicts the 6’9, 210-pound forward as then grabbing the complainant’s neck and choking her. He then, allegedly, slapped her in the face, bit her on the lip and pushed her onto a bed.

The Nets have vowed to share any and all information about this case with the NBA, who is set to conduct an investigation of their own. Commissioner Adam Silver could place Kurucs on administrative leave while the investigation continues.

If he's found guilty of misconduct, Kurucs could also be facing immigration concerns:

Kurucs must also contend with the potential immigration ramifications of the charges. Sports Illustrated has confirmed that Kurucs is playing in the NBA on a work visa. He is thus neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident (green card).

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security enjoys substantial discretion to seek the deportation of non-citizens who are convicted of violent crimes. Likewise, the agency can ensure that once the person leaves the U.S., he or she is deemed inadmissible to re-enter.

With his charges being misdemeanor in severity, there is but a slim chance that Kurucs would actually be deported. At their discretion, Homeland Security determines whether or not to make that call on matters such as these. However, he could have trouble gaining entry into Canada when the Nets play the Raptors this season, as Canadian laws are a bit different than those of the United States:

Canada reserves the right to deny entry to a person who has been arrested for a crime in the U.S. The Nets, however, have plenty of time to retain immigration attorneys in Canada. Skilled legal representation would increase the odds that Canada allows Kurucs to enter.

Kurucs made 63 appearances with the Nets last season (46 starts), racking up averages of 8.5 points on 45.0 percent shooting from the field (31.5 percent from beyond the arc), 3.9 rebounds and just under one assist (0.8) in 20.5 minutes per outing.
