It seems like a day doesn't go by around the NBAwithout something to talk about. Even if there aren't any playoff games on, some players still manage to make the headlines. If not, ask Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso.
Caruso has always been a bit of a fan favorite. At first, it was because of his looks, as he doesn't exactly strike you as an NBA player. Now, he's praised for his effort in the defensive end of the floor.
Nonetheless, the former NBA champion has now stole the headlines for the wrong reasons, as he was recently arrested for weed possession. Needless to say, that prompted plenty of reactions around social media.
Alex Caruso Arrested For Marijuana Possession
"Los Angeles Lakers player Alex Caruso was arrested on Tuesday at Easterwood Airport in College Station, KBTX has confirmed. A spokesman for Texas A&M Police said officers were contacted by TSA agents at the airport after they found what they believed to be drug paraphernalia. The police department says the item located was a grinder with marijuana residue," reported KBTX.
"The 27-year-old College Station native was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, less than two ounces, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Caruso has been released on bonds totaling $4200. Texas A&M University Police was the arresting agency because Easterwood Airport is located on university property," the report concluded.

Even LeBron James made some fun of his teammate after his brief incident with law enforcement. Obviously, internet trolls couldn't let this one fly and they flooded social media with some hilarious content:
Caruso isn't the first NBA player - and certainly won't be the last - to go through something like this, so it's not like this incident will define his career or anything. But he can rest assured that the internet will never, ever forget about it.
