Atlanta Hawks forward Mike Scott is facing up to 25 years in prison after being charged with felony drug possession for an incident that occurred in July, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Scott was pulled over, along with his younger brother, and was found to be carrying 35.2 grams of marijuana and 10.9 grams of Schedule I drug MDMA. The marijuana charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, while the MDMA charge carries a maximum of 15. All drugs confiscated in the incident have been sent to an independent lab for testing and a court date will not be set until after the results come back, likely sometime during the upcoming NBA season. Scott averaged 7.8 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in 68 appearances last season, but his status with the team can now be called into question, with such serious legal matters hanging over his head.
