DALLAS — Mavericks reserve guard Brandon Williams apologized Wednesday for being a distraction after he was arrested Saturday on a charge of marijuana possession.
“I can’t really go into further detail,” Williams, 25, said before posting 20 points and seven rebounds off the bench in the Mavericks’ 107-105 win over Indiana. “I just want to apologize for just being a distraction. I want to take full accountability.”
Williams was arrested at DFW International Airport on Saturday after less than 2 ounces of marijuana were found in his luggage.
“Going to a funeral for a friend that’s passing, having that incident, that’s something that he has to deal with,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. “We can all be here to support him.”
Williams’ arrest forced him to miss Dallas’ two previous games.
