Mario Chalmers, Darrell Arthur Kicked Out of NBA Rookie Program for Marijuana

Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur, two of the stars from Kansas' national championship team, were kicked out of the NBA's rookie transitional program for marijuana.

"Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers were sent home for violation of program policies," said NBA spokesman Tim Frank. The two were kicked out on Wednesday.

According to sources, Arthur and Chalmers' violations had to do with marijuana, and having women in their room on Tuesday night. The four-day program began Wednesday morning.

Both former Jayhawks will be fined $20,000, could be suspended and will have to repeat the rookie transition program next year.

Chalmers was drafted by Minnesota with the 34th overall pick and dealt to the Miami Heat in exchange for a pair of 2009 second-round picks and cash considerations. He recently signed a two-year guaranteed contract that will pay him $700,000 this season.

Arthur was originally selected 27th overall by the New Orleans Hornets before being traded to Portland and then Houston in draft night deals. Memphis acquired his rights from the Rockets for Donte Greene and a 2009 second-round pick.

Arthur recently signed a multi-year deal with the Grizzlies.
