Moses Malone Jr., son of Basketball Hall of Famer Moses Malone, alleged Thursday that four men attacked and robbed him last month because of a critical comment he made regarding Houston Rockets guard James Harden.

According to ESPN.com, Malone was allegedly attacked at a Houston nightclub and taken for $15,000 worth of jewelry.

Warrants are out for the arrests of the four men allegedly involved. While Malone believes Harden put the assailants up to it, the four-time All-Star has not been charged with a crime.
