SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Former NBA All-Star Alvin Robertson waived his extradition rights and is returning to San Antonio to face charges of sexual assault of a child and sex trafficking.

Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy Ino Badillo says Robertson is expected to arrive Friday. He was arrested in Bentonville, Ark., a week ago after Texas authorities issued a warrant.

The 47-year-old former San Antonio Spurs' player is accused of being part of a sex trafficking ring that kidnapped a 14-year-old girl last April. The teen was allegedly forced to have sex with men around San Antonio and to dance at a Corpus Christi strip club.

Robertson's attorney, Jimmy Parks, said Robertson wanted to return to San Antonio quickly to challenge the "scurrilous allegations."
