Update: The woman, Savannah McMillan-Christmas, is apparently not Martin’s stalker. Her father, Chris Christmas, told Spears on Tuesday that Denver police misidentified his daughter. From Yahoo! Sports:

Christmas said he isn’t sure why his daughter mentioned Martin’s name, but said Denver police told him they mistakenly identified his daughter as Martin’s former stalker. Det. John White, a Denver police spokesman, told The Denver Post that police are not aware of any previous incidents involving McMillan-Christmas.

The Nuggets are lucky that Martin departed the team following last season. If Martin still was with the squad, things could have turned ugly. As it turned out, she was removed without incident, and play continued mostly uninterrupted.
