Charlotte Hornets center, Al Jefferson, who is currently injured and is expected to be out for about three weeks has been suspended by the NBA for five games for a breach in drug program. Jefferson told a reporter that he failed a drug test, when asked about his violation.

This is very unfortunate for Jefferson because this case coincidentally unfolded at the season when his contract with the Hornets will expire. Clearly, Jefferson feels remorseful for his actions because in a recent interview, he said "I just feel so low right now for every little boy and girl who looks at me as somebody they look up to."

So far this season, Jefferson has played 17 games for the Hornets and managed to average about 13.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Hopefully Jefferson would learn from his mistakes and comeback stronger.
