Manhattan — Knicks forward Wilson Chandler was arrested Tuesday night after police found marijuana in his car, police said.
Police found 12 small bags of marijuana and a joint cigarette on the driver's seat after pulling Chandler's Mercedes-Benz near 94th Avenue and 213th Street in Queens at 11:30 p.m., authorities said Wednesday.
The hoops star was issued a desk appearance ticket.
Chandler, 23, missed the last month of the season because of a strained groin. He is scheduled to undergo sports hernia surgery soon.
The 6-foot-8 forward, drafted by the Knicks in 2007, averaged 15.4 points and 5.4 rebounds a game this season.
