Hawks center Miles Plumlee recently was arrested on a charge of marijuana possession, according to an online report by long-time NBA writer Peter Vecsey.
Vecsey reported that Plumlee was arrested on Long Island in late August. Plumlee was released on $100 bail, according to Vecsey.
A Hawks spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
If Plumlee is convicted of or pleads guilty to the possession charge, he would be subject to the NBA's marijuana program. A first offense requires players to enter counseling with no additional penalty. A second offense results in a fine, a third offense triggers a five-game suspension and subsequent violations each carry an additional five-game suspension.
The Hawks acquired Plumlee in June as part of a trade with the Hornets. The Hawks sent center Dwight Howard and the No. 31 overall pick in the 2017 draft to Charlotte for Plumlee, guard Marco Belinelli and the No. 41 overall pick in the 2017 draft.
