Lakers News: Dion Waiters Reflects On Plane Incident With Heat Before Being Traded

The Los Angeles Lakers made the decision to bring in Dion Waiters in March as they geared up for the 2020 NBA playoffs.

Waiters began the 2019-20 NBA season with the Miami Heat but he would be traded and waived after multiple incidents led to suspensions.

The most infamous of those incidents in Miami involved Waiters taking THC gummies while on a team plane and having a panic attack. Upon landing, Waiters needed medical attention and the Heat suspended him for 10 games following the incident.

Now many months removed from the incident, Waiters has opened up about it.
