Thomas Robinson was involved in a car accident after Monday night’s Sacramento Kings win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Sleep Train Arena.

The accident occurred at the intersection of Del Paso Blvd. and Broadgate Dr. when Robinson apparently drove his white Porsche Panamera over a concrete divide at speeds that are unknown at this time. The vehicle, which faced the wrong way in the turn lane following the accident, sustained major damage according to various eyewitness reports.

The Kings rookie big man was not injured in the collision. No word if other vehicles were involved.

At around 10:45 pm, word of a crash initially involving Jason Thompson reached media in the press room after a fan tweeted details to Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee. Cowbell Kingdom reached Thompson for comment before he took to Twitter to quell any concern that he was involved the collision. Tweets then started trickling in that it was Robinson, not Thompson, who crashed his car.
