Markieff Morris detained at Philly airport on suspected marijuana possession

After a solid start to the offseason with a new head coaching hire, the Wizards are in the news for the wrong reason.

According to John Gonzalez of CSN Philadelphia Markieff Morris was detained by local authorities on Thursday afternoon after Philadelphia International Airport security recovered a "suspicious item" in a bag Morris had checked for an international trip.

Oh boy. Let's take a step back and unpack everything we have before jumping to conclusions.

According to Gonzalez's report, the recovered item was described as "suspicious" and the matter is still under investigation by the Tinicum Township Police in Delaware County.
