Last weekend he refused to take anti-doping-test (he gave his own version how that went), which was last straw and Maccabi cut him from their roster. He was earning 1,3mil Euros this season, which is pretty high in Europe.

It is not the end of his problems though, for refusing/failing drug test he might get sanctioned by FIBA and get two year ban. This would pretty much restrict his employment options to China..

Now that more details are coming out, apparently Maccabi wanted to payout his contract multiple times before this, as he caused all kinds of shenanigans in the team - coach got fired because of him and also he somehow caused a rift between american and israeli players on the roster.

Story keeps going, it seems he has bastard/extramarital 3 y/o son in Lithuania, from his 2013/2014 season in Žalgiris..
