Clark ticketed for drug possession

The (AP) reports: Former Toronto Raptor Keon Clark will appear Aug. 22 in an Illinois court after being cited for marijuana possession. Clark, 27, was ticketed at 10:50 p.m. on Sunday for having about a gram of marijuana in his car, City Attorney David Wesner said. The NBA free agent was not arrested.

If found guilty, Clark could be fined $250 to $1,500.

Wesner said Clark was cited about two years ago for a similar offence. The citations will not appear on criminal records because they are dealt with in local courts, Wesner said.

Clark played for the Raptors for two seasons. He became a free agent July 22 after the team rescinded an offer to extend his contract.

He averaged 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks last year.

Instant Replay approved for 2003

The NBA has approved the use of instant replays in making close decisions in final-second situations, Yahoo news is reporting. Following many questionable decisions last season and again during the playoffs the NBA's Board of Governors approved the move last week.

Beginning with the 2002-03 preseason, referees will automatically review any shot that goes in with no time left on the clock in any quarter or overtime. They will also be able to use video to determine if a player had his foot on the 3-point line or out-of-bounds line.
