Celebrity couples often don’t have a Hollywood ending. Check out sports couples who split up.

Wrong place, wrong time.

That is the best way to describe San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker’s night Wednesday when he was injured at a New York City club where a fight allegedly broke out between recording artists Chris Brown and Drake, according to Complex.com.

Parker told reporters at a news conference Friday that he suffered an eye injury after glass bottles were tossed around the bar during the incident, according to multiple reports. Parker believes the injury will sideline him seven days.

“I was quietly with my friends when a fight broke out,” Parker said. “Bottles started flying everywhere. I tried to protect my girlfriend and I got everything. The cornea was affected. I cannot do anything for seven days. I was lucky. They almost had to give me stitches.”

According to the San Antonio Express-News, Parker was trying to shield his girlfriend from broken glass.

The San Antonio newspaper said a Spurs spokesperson declined comment about the incident and said the team had no additional information about the injury.

It’s unclear whether the injury will impact Parker’s playing status for France in the London Summer Olympics. The team begins its pre-Olympic training camp next week.

Chris Brown reportedly tweeted a picture of his chin that had a large, open gash, shortly after the fight was said to have taken place, but the photo was eventually pulled from his Twitter account.

The New York City Council and NYPD will review policies regarding bottle service in New York City bars in the wake of the fight, TMZ reported.

"The purpose of this meeting is to send a clear message to all nightclub patrons that bottles cannot be used as weapons and to determine if the guidelines surrounding bottle service need to be updated or reworked," city council speaker Chistine C. Quinn said in a statement.

Its hard for me to fathom R&B guys trying to be tough. You guys are in the club throwing bottles likes girls, what could guys who sing actually argue about? Who album is number 1? And in this mist of this you get an actual pro athlete injure behind some nonsense. Please stop it. R&b tough guys is an oxy-moron like Deandre Jordan and Free throws. They just dont go together.

Funny is that I was at the same club 2 weeks ago for a HIP HOP show. That club was nice. Had a great scenery, dope, humble crowd and nice setup. It’s a shame that the club is going to have a bad wrap now that this fiasco went down.

Chris Brown is pathetic like Ray Jay. Both these guys have tweeted or gone on air talking about getting into fights. The Ray Jay fight actually turned out not to be true, he just pretty much made up almost everything. He told this crazy story about beating up Fab.You two are Lame stfu.

Chris Brown is possibly the biggest d-bag on the face of the earth.  He beats women, he has serious anger issues, he’s just a horrible horrible person.  His music is terrible as well.  I just can’t believe this idiot still gets headlines.  For God’s sake, someone please knock this guy out.  Feel bad for Tony Parker getting caught up in this idiocy.

Well said NJhooper95. Publicity stunting for talentless so called artist.

In three months Chris Brown and Drake will have a new song, with Parker’s girl dancin in the video.
