damn. so his prime years are gone just like that. and its still not for sure whether or not he ever comes back. what a shame. huge loss for pacers if this is true.
Tyreke is a quality player and still hadn't reached his peak imho.

Yes it does and I don't care what you say!
That's actually you in your avatar isn't it?

That's a false equivalency though. Evans was not stealing from the Pacers.

Good news is now he can move on with his life and go do something else with 20% effort.

this not it
if it's a drug problem, banning him from the league helps no one. send him to rehab. give him support. it's not about being his family it's just common decency and how you should treat your employees.
It helps the next NBA guy who thinks it's a good idea to start using drugs.
No it doesn't at all actually, and this kind of logic shows how little you understand about drug addiction. Again, drug users almost always have deeper emotional problems or histories of abuse/family issues that lead to them turning to methods of escaping that. Tyreke's ban will have absolutely no effect on preventing that in future cases. Drugs aren't the "forbidden fruit" you're making them out to be.

Send the guy to rehab and get him help. Don’t ban him for two years and ostracize him.
He probably already did but on the low.
