HOUSTON (AP) Hall of Fame guard Calvin Murphy surrendered to authorities Monday after being charged with sexually abusing his daughters more than a decade ago.

The former Houston Rockets star was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault and three counts of indecency with a child.

The charges involve five daughters who were under 17, the Harris County district clerk's office said. The daughters said Murphy sexually abused them between 1988-91, according to an affidavit by Drew Carter of the Texas Rangers.

The 55-year-old Murphy was released from jail after posting a $90,000 bond. Murphy had no comment.

Murphy's attorney, Rusty Hardin, said his client insists the charges are ``absolutely not true.''

``We believe (the alleged incidents of abuse) did not happen and Calvin is absolutely insistent they did not happen,'' Hardin said. ``Once these allegations are made, no one ever fully recovers. No matter what a jury says, he will always be branded with this.''

Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal said his office has notified other jurisdictions about the charges. ``He has a number of families around the country, according to our research,''

Murphy, a TV analyst for the Rockets, was a star guard for the franchise from 1970-83. The 5-foot-9 player averaged 17.9 points and shot 89.2 percent from the line during his NBA career. He averaged 33.1 points in college at Niagara.

The Rockets granted Murphy a leave of absence from his broadcasting duties.
