After being arrested for drunk driving for the second time in less than six months, Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson was ordered into rehab. Nuggets GM Tim Connelly made his first public comments about Lawson since the arrest on Friday at Summer League in Las Vegas.
Via the Associated Press’ Jon Krawczynski:
Denver GM Tim Connelly said Nuggets stand behind Ty Lawson: "Ty is going through a rough time right now, but we’re all behind him."

Connelly on Lawson: "“When any of our guys has an issue, we all have an issue. And we stand firmly behind him.”

Hopefully, Lawson can get the help he needs. He’s a talented player, but he clearly has some personal issues he needs to deal with.
