KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Former Tennessee guard Detrick Mostella has a court date later this month after being cited on a misdemeanor charge of possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia.
Tennessee announced Tuesday night that Mostella had been dismissed from the team. The release announcing Mostella's exit didn't specify a reason for his dismissal.
"I've always been very clear about the standards that members of this program will be held to,'' Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said in a statement. "Those standards are very high, and Detrick unfortunately has not lived up to them.''
