Glen Rice Jr. Crutches Into Court In Gunshot Case

Ex-NBA player Glen Rice Jr. crutched into an Atlanta courtroom Tuesday -- still reeling from the gunshot he took to the leg during a violent altercation 2 weeks ago ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Rice Jr. is facing felony marijuana possession and a misdemeanor gun charge stemming from the October 25th incident ... in which he was arrested following a shooting at a restaurant owned by rapper T.I.

As we previously reported, Rice Jr. was busted as he tried to leave the scene -- cops say he had 240 grams of weed, a bunch of cash ... and was bleeding out of his left leg.

Rice was not required to attend the hearing today -- but showed up anyway, probably to try to curry favor with the judge.

Glen didn't say much during the hearing, captured on video by WAGA Fox 5, but did attempt to stand up.

If convicted, Rice Jr. faces up to 11 years in prison.
