Basketball Betting Lines

08/16/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat organization responded on Monday to forward Udonis Haslem's drug possession and unlawful speeding charges stemming from a traffic stop on Sunday.

"We are aware of the incident involving Udonis Haslem yesterday afternoon, and while we fully support our players, since this is a pending legal matter we will have no further comment at this time," Heat president Pat Riley said.

Miami-Dade County court records show Haslem was charged with possessing over 20 grams of marijuana. According to the Miami Herald, the traffic stop happened around 3 p.m. (et) when Haslem was stopped for driving 78 m.p.h. in a 60 m.p.h. zone.

Haslem has spent his entire seven-year career with the Heat and recently signed a five-year contract with the team this past offseason rather than taking more lucrative offers to play elsewhere.
