Former NBA player Desmond Mason was arrested in Oklahoma last week on a warrant out of Texas and remains in custody, according to reports.

Police said Mason was taken into custody Thursday in Bricktown before being transported to a hospital because of a medical issue prior to booking.

News 9 reported Mason is being held on a “flight to avoid” charge connected to a felony warrant from Collin County, Texas.

Additional details about the warrant have not been released.

Mason was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round of the 2000 NBA Draft and won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2001.

He also played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings during his NBA career.

In 2024, Mason was also jailed in Oklahoma City on a contempt of court charge related to his divorce case.
