Last year, a source informed Sandrarose.com that former NBA star Shannon Brown was recovering from a foot injury. The source said he saw Brown hobbling on a cane — his foot encased in a neoprene boot.

Now we know that Brown was involved in a bad car accident.

We know that because, in a fit of anger, he let the cat out of the bag.

Tongues started wagging after the 30-year-old former Miami Heat star posted a photo of his wrecked Bentley on Instagram.com last night.

The story he had given friends was that he had surgery due to a sports injury.

Until Brown posted the photo of the smashed Bentley, no one outside of his circle knew he was involved in a head-on collision and suffered an injury that could impact his NBA career.

“They kept that [accident] on the low,” said my source.

Brown snatched the photo down earlier today. But not quickly enough to silence the rumor mill.
