Apparently he tested positive for high alcohol levels 3 times in the past 6 months and also skipped out on his required community service.

Alcoholism has been tough for him to overcome, it's going to kill what could have been a stellar career. Not so different in the end than Sullinger's eating addiction.

In fairness to Ty, I thinking playing for the Kings could drive even non-alcoholics to drink.

Sorry to hear it, hopefully he gets the treatment he needs.

Definitely sounds like he needs treatment and it was insane in the first place he was allowed to get 4 DUI's. Kind of insane he was able to remain a serviceable NBA player doing all this. All that being said, if some gets DUI's what is with the court's saying they can't drink at all if they are not driving?
