Giddens Gets Probation: Former Kansas guard J.R. Giddens pleaded no contest yesterday to misdemeanor battery charges stemming from a large bar fight in May of this year. Giddens, who has since left Kansas and has transferred to New Mexico, received probation for one year, and could face a six-month jail sentence or $1,500 fine if he violates the probation’s terms. The state dropped other charges, including a disorderly conduct charge, in exchange for the no contest plea. In the fight, Giddens was cut in the leg by Jeremiah Creswell, who still faces charges in the altercation, requiring over 30 stitches and the repair of an artery. Giddens averaged 10 points per game as a sophomore last season at Kansas. [11/01/05]
