MIAMI — Ex-Baylor star and current NBA player for the Minnesota Timberwolves Taurean Prince was arrested in Miami Friday.

Sports Illustrated FanNation said the NBA forward was arrested at Miami International Airport for a fugitive warrant issued out of Texas for drugs, but did not specify further.

The Associated Press reported Thursday Prince was booked in the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department Jail. Information regarding specific charges or his bond was not immediately known.

The Minnesota Timberwolves said in a statement they are “aware of the alleged report regarding Taurean Prince and are in the process of gathering more information," the Associated Press wrote.

The 28-year-old Texas native played for the Baylor Bears from 12-16 before being drafted 12th overall by the Utah Jazz.
