Lakers Guard Reportedly Arrested In Texas
The Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoff series against the Phoenix Suns. The team was making headlines for a really long time as players struggled with injuries and poor performances. Well, a Lakers guard was arrested Tuesday night in Texas and the man has a huge problem to deal with right now.
Lakers fans got some bad news last night and this time the whole thing is related to one of the best young players on the roster.
Police reports confirmed that officers have arrested Lakers guard Alex Caruso for marijuana possession. NBA reporter Ben Rohrback shared a photo of Caruso’s mugshot and provided some details of the incident.
The Lakers guard got arrested for possession
The police report reveals that Texas A&M University police booked the young player on two counts. He was charged with marijuana possession of less than two ounces and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Here’s the police report shared by Rohrbach:
This is the last thing the Lakers needed at the moment. LA fans are still trying to get over the early exit from the playoffs. Caruso’s arrest happened at the worst moment ever. Such a terrible timing!
Young Caruso was an excellent role player for the purple and gold in the 2020-21 NBA season. He hit a career high in rebounds per game with the team and shared his second-best marks in points and assists per game.
Things don’t look good for Caruso as he is entering free agency this offseason. Will the Lakers bring him back for another year? LeBron James and Anthony Davis really like him, and yes, Caruso is an excellent contributor. He is a fan favorite and we bet fans are devastated.
We are waiting for more details on Caruso’s arrest. The Lakers front office has yet to release an official statement. Caruso is a valuable player and the team needs his talent heading into the next season. He will have to deal with his problem before making any decision on his future. We bet the NBA will conduct an investigation in order to bring a verdict on Caruso’s role in the league.
