A former Chicago prep basketball star and college standout at Bradley University was pistol-whipped and robbed of a Range Rover and more than $100,000 in cash during an attack at his South Loop condominium, police said.

Adebayo Akinkunle, 37, was treated for a cut to the head, a broken nose and cuts to his left wrist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to police.

Police initially responded to a call of a person shot just after 3 p.m. Monday at a residence in the 700 block of South Financial Place in Printer's Row, police said.

Officers found Akinkunle -- the 1998 Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year -- beaten and his home ransacked, police said. Akinkunle told authorities he didn't know his attackers, who took more than $100,000 in cash as well a closet safe, wallet, 10 credit cards and two cell phones, police said.

The men fled in a Range Rover that Akinkunle had been driving. A police report on the incident doesn't state how many men attacked Akinkunle. No arrests have been made as of this morning.

A shell casing was recovered on the scene but no one on the scene was shot, police said.

The 6-foot-7-inch Morgan Park star went on to Bradley, where he led the Braves to three postseason appearances and led the team in scoring as a senior. Akinkunle went undrafted in the 1998 NBA draft but played overseas and was inducted into Bradley's athletics hall of fame in 2009.

Akinkunle couldn't be reached for comment, but his father, Ambrose, said Tuesday that his son had called him around 11:30 p.m. Monday to let him know about the beating. The son said he was doing alright, but his father did not know more than that.

The conversation was brief, but the former Bradley basketball star relayed he had received stitches and was staying with a friend. He was also using his friend's phone since his two cell phones were stolen, his father said.

"He said he was injured badly," said Ambrose Akinkunle. "He said he didn't know the people."

His father said Akinkunle had retired from professional basketball after playing in Europe.
