NBA star James Harden was taken into custody early Saturday morning in Texas and charged with the illegal carrying of firearms, a misdemeanor.
According to reports, Harden was found with a handgun in his vehicle, which was in plain view and not secured in a holster.
He has since been released on bond and is set to appear in court on June 22.
The conditions of his bond prohibit him from owning any firearms, ammunition, or other weapons, as well as from using, possessing, or consuming any alcohol, controlled substances, dangerous drugs, or marijuana unless prescribed by a physician.
Harden has encountered legal challenges previously, though not all were criminal in nature.
He is expected to remain in Cleveland under a new multiyear contract, but the recent arrest raises new questions.
