“11:22 AM PT — Taurean’s rep, Cathy Cardenas, tells TMZ Sports the warrant was related to a traffic stop in Texas back in May … when cops found a marijuana device in Prince’s car.
7:46 AM PT — According to police documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Prince is currently being held on no bond due to a charge involving “dangerous drugs.”
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince was arrested in Miami on Thursday night … TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Jail records show the 28-year-old was booked at 7:51 PM due to an outstanding warrant. A police spokesperson tells us it stems from an alleged drug-related incident in Texas.
Further details have not yet been released.
Prince — who looked stern in his mug shot — is still in custody, the records show.
Prince, a star at Baylor, was taken by the Jazz in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, but was traded to the Atlanta Hawks just days later. He’s bounced around the league since, but played well for the T-Wolves after being traded to the team last year.
He’s since signed a 2-year, $16 million extension with Minnesota … and is expected to be a key player on the team this season.”
