Former NBA player Jeremy Tyler is having some issues with the mother of his children. Tyler was recently released by the Lakers, and has to get a restraining order against Sukey Rowan, the mother of their 10-month son.
TMZ Sports has learned … the 23-year-old — who’s expected to sign a deal to play in China — filed court docs in L.A. asking for protection from Sukey Rowan … a British national who Tyler’s been with for years.
In the docs, Tyler says Rowan got violent during an altercation at his mother’s house on October 18th — when she showed up to the home before she was expected to be there and demanded to see their child.
“I brought [the child] outside and she swung at me and tried to hit me while I was holding our son,” Tyler says … “At one point she missed me and hit our son.”
Tyler continues, “My sister tried to get between us, and she kicked my sister, who is nine months pregnant, in the stomach.”
Despite the allegations, Tyler says “I still love Sukey, but I cannot let my son and I live in danger because of her mental issues and violent temper.”
A judge granted a temporary restraining order against Rowan — which also bars her from leaving the country with their kid.
Hopefully, Tyler and Rowan can resolve this amicably for their son’s sake. Rowan could not be reached for comment.
