MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Police were questioning former NBA player Latrell Sprewell Wednesday in connection with a sexual assault allegation.

Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said Sprewell, of River Hills, voluntarily appeared at their downtown offices Wednesday with his attorneys. She declined to say if he was a suspect in the assault.

Police had a report of a second-degree sexual assault from a 21-year-old Milwaukee woman, but Schwartz wouldn't say what that involved. The assault allegedly happened on a boat at the McKinley Marina on Tuesday.

Schwartz said Sprewell gave them permission to search his boat Wednesday.

Calls left at the office and cell phones of his attorneys, Steven Kohn and Jonathan Smith, were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Sprewell is scheduled to meet with the district attorney's office Thursday afternoon, Schwartz said.

Sprewell, 35, played 13 NBA seasons, most recently with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2004-05 season.

He was a four-time All-Star, but remains most known for several off-court incidents -- including a 68-game suspension after choking Golden State Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo at a practice in 1997.

The NBA suspended him for one game in 2004 after he yelled a sexual vulgarity at a female fan who was heckling him during a game.

In December 2003, Sprewell was fined $25,000 by the NBA for cursing at New York Knicks chairman James Dolan and screaming at the team's bench. In 1999, Sprewell was fined $10,000 for making profane remarks to fans during a game.

In November 2004, he received a misdemeanor citation after arguing with a police officer during a traffic stop. Sprewell, who was a passenger in the vehicle, claimed he was treated unfairly.

A native of Milwaukee, Sprewell didn't play varsity basketball until his senior year at Washington High School, when he averaged 28 points per game. He played at a junior college before becoming a standout at Alabama.
