"Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton was briefly detained on Tuesday while at an airport in the Bahamas on suspicion of being in possession of a "very small amount of marijuana," according to Ayton's lawyer, Devard Francis."
""The investigators saw that the actual very small amount of marijuana wasn't in Deandre's bag, but they still went through their investigations and he was released expeditiously," Francis told Reuters in a statement."
"As of the most recent CBA agreement, players are no longer tested for marijuana and it has been removed from the banned substance list."
Deandre Ayton, a Bahamian native and member of the men's national team, was briefly detained at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau on suspicion of possessing a very small amount of marijuana. Ayton's lawyer, Devard Francis, said the substance had been in someone else's bag and that investigators confirmed the marijuana was not in Ayton's bag. Ayton was released expeditiously after a brief investigation. The latest NBA collective bargaining agreement no longer requires marijuana testing and removes marijuana from the banned substance list, though marijuana remains illegal in the Bahamas. Ayton, 27, is in his first year with the Los Angeles Lakers.
