One of my favorite Cats of all time.
Yep. Go people need to go back and watch his highlights. He was unreal. I figured he would've blown up immediately in the pros.
That game in Las Vegas was one of the greatest individual performances I ever watched in person. He was absolutely clutch down the stretch.
In his defense, he was drafted by and plays for Charlotte
What makes you say that? I read the article but it didn’t allude to what type of drug it was or wasn’t.
If it's weed then he's not just using it casually. Adam Silver's gone on record stating that he doesn't care if players smoke or not, so long as they don't abuse it.

It is not weed and also not sure how you could abuse it . You either do it or don't . There is no abusing it . It isn't alcohol or Heroin where if you do too much you die or something . I guess you abuse it by smoking it out a cheap pipe? LOL .
What constitutes weed abuse? Lol. You could smoke every day and it wouldn't have a single adverse effect on you.
what is the definition of “abuse of marijuana”? I’ve known people that smoke everyday but still get up, go to work, and live very productive lives. IMO, I think it’s a lot safer and more responsible to smoke every day than to drink every day. It’s definitely a person by person basis as I’ve know people like I described and I’ve also known burnouts. It all just depends on your own motivation level to succeed and a vision of what you want your future to look like. In my experience, the burnouts I’ve known have no vision and live day to day. The ones that can smoke but are still productive have a very clear vision and know they want to become what they envision for their future. This is all a mute point though as the poster above already determined that the NBA CBA won’t suspend a player an undetermined amount of games for substances like marijuana or PEDs. If I had to speculate, I’d say it is some type of pill like adderoll or oxy.
What's wrong with these people? Thought the NBA was "woke". Hell, it's all good stuff and nothing to see here.
The way it's worded, it's most likely abusing prescription drugs, cocaine, or something like codeine.
I've never seen an open-ended suspension like that before, it just says when he's in compliance with league policy or whatever, so it could be a few games or it could be forever.

True . Inhaling smoke of any kind into your lungs is perfectly healthy. Fact. PS you might want to stay in your lane
It was the most thrilling live game that I ever attended. Next best was the 1978 Championship game against dook.
If you drink, you need to stay in your lane as well. Any alcohol consumption is a poison to the liver. However, there can be benefits associated with each. A glass of red wine with dinner once or twice per week can help with cholesterol. Smoking can help with insomnia, depression, anxiety, or sicknesses such as MS or Cancer. I’m not saying you do drink, but if you do, don’t view one thing as okay and the other as not just because of what the federal law says and the stigma that has been attached to marijuana (much of which was propaganda created by our government to associate weed with hippies in the 60s and 70s).
piss on dook I hope we play them again this year and beat them just to see that “118-84” bs go away
So you think employers just have anti-drug policies in place for shits and giggles? Of course marijuana has adverse effects on you. I've worked with people who were clearly under the influence of pot. That can get people killed around machinery.
don’t forget the politicians in the 20s linking weed to a awful drug all because hispanics coming into the country illegally were smoking it
This Bud's for you ! LOl , nothing like pot heads taking up for their crutch . Carry on Bro ' Rollem' tight. or bong it or bake it .. I dont care ! But get off the nonsense its healthy .
People can get killed around machinery sober and tons of people do every year now name the deaths from “marijuana overdoses”
Dude, don't get triggered we beat Duke in the 1978 National Championship game, find something else to infuriate you.
I mean, obviously one should not be high at work (though I saw it a lot in the food industry). There are other medicines in which people also should not operate machinery while taking. But if someone gets high on a Saturday or even a Sunday, it won’t affect them come Monday at work or anything like that.
sorry man I just can’t stand duke and their fans I can go on all dayDude, don't get triggered we beat Duke in the 1978 National Championship game, find something else to infuriate you.
It really is.He has so much talent and hopefully he can get the help he needs.
Monk's problem has always been consistency. He's very streaky. When he gets hot, he can torch someone from anywhere on the floor. When he's cold, he can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn. I remember saying to family members when he was at UK. Monk is a guy who shoot you into a game or out of a game, depending on whether or not he's on.
I'm sure part of his issue is mental. There is no question that he has the physical tools and athleticism to make it in the NBA. He just needs to approach it the way IQ has at Kentucky, which is to get in that gym and perfect his craft- work until it becomes 2nd nature. But the drugs probably helped him with the mental part of it, gave him an edge, and helped him play better. Problem is, that is a double-edged sword and it will come back to hurt you if you do it for very long.
Yeah, I always wondered why, with his athletic & shooting ability that he hadn't had more of an impact in the league until now.
You do realize that THC is available in edibles..........PS might want to stay in your lane........
