NBA Player Admits Using Marijuana, Facing Punishment llas Mavericks forward Josh Howard is facing disciplinary action after admitting he smokes marijuana

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard is facing disciplinary action after admitting he still smokes marijuana during the offseason.

Howard first made his marijuana use public last summer and recently confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that he continues to use the illegal drug.

"Most of the players in the league use marijuana and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the offseason sometimes," Howard said.

In response to the interview, Dallas owner Mark Cuban declared that Howard will likely be disciplined by the team.

The Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Hornets, 97-87, on Friday and now trail that opening-round Western Conference playoff series two games to one.
