NBA players will be able to smoke weed under new collective bargaining agreement - - washtimessports
The National Basketball Association and its players’ union reached a tentative agreement on a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement Saturday.
One concession to players is that marijuana has been removed from the league’s drug testing program, and as such they will no longer be penalized for toking up, sources briefed on the negotiations told The Athletic. Barring changes later in the negotiations, teams will be given an 80-game schedule for the 2023-2024 season in August, with four of those games being part of an in-season tournament, a new feature previously backed by league commissioner Adam Silver.
Players on the team that wins the in-season tournament would each receive a $500,000 prize, according to The Athletic.
