One man was arrested during a melee outside a downtown club that marred NBA player Brandon Roy's birthday party.

Several other NBA players were at the party at Level 5 on Fifth Avenue North early Saturday, including Will Conroy, a former teammate of Roy's at Washington and Garfield High School, Chris Wilcox of the Sonics and Jason Terry, a former Franklin High School star now with the Dallas Mavericks.

Roy, the NBA Rookie of the Year last season for the Portland Trail Blazers, turned 23 Monday, but celebrated with a party Friday night, according to Conroy.

Conroy, a guard for the Los Angeles Clippers, said the NBA players weren't involved in the altercation, which police said involved more than 100 people and spilled onto the street outside the club.

"We were nowhere close to that," Conroy said. "I didn't even know what took place. It wasn't us. We don't get in the middle of that stuff."
