"This is a home wrecking h*e!" She's a former drug dealer and she has abandoned her child trying to come up off athletes. Her 7 year old child is currently in New York City with her ex who pretends to be his father, who is also a drug dealer. She is desperate & lost!" the caption on the post reads.
For the current season, so far, Crowder was able to put in significant numbers, averaging 14.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, through 31.9 minutes of playing time per game.
