Nets’ Faried busted on marijuana charge
Veteran’s misstep could affect status with Brooklyn-based franchise
Newly acquired Nets power forward Kenneth Faried came to Downtown Brooklyn insisting he could serve in a leadership role for a young, budding team trying to rise from the ashes and become relevant again on the NBA landscape.
Instead, he got busted with a small bushel of buds.
“Brooklyn decided to pick up a still-able, capable player who can go out there, produce and lead a team,” Faried told reporters at the Nets’ HSS Training Center in Sunset Park earlier this month.
