Sterling Brown was allegedly the victim of an assault outside a strip club in the Miami area last week, and footage that was released from the aftermath of the incident shows how badly the Houston Rockets guard/forward was injured.

Police released a body cam video that shows Brown covered in blood and holding his shirt over his face. The audio was muted, but Brown and Rockets teammate Kevin Porter Jr. are shown having a conversation with police officers and paramedics.

Beware the the video contains some disturbing content.

Brown was reportedly among multiple Rockets players who visited a Coral Gables-area strip club on the night of April 18. The Rockets played the Miami Heat the next night. According to a report, Brown got into the wrong vehicle when he left the club, which led to an argument. He then got into a physical confrontation and was hit in the head with a bottle.

The Rockets said in a statement that Brown was a victim of assault and had no affiliation or prior interaction with the assailants. The team also said he is expected to make a full recovery.

Brown is having a solid season with career-high averages in points (8.2), rebounds (4.4), as well as minutes per game (24.1).
