we don't know for sure it's drugs yet. It could be meningitis. It can cause such behaviour sometimes.
We know he was shouting, attacked paramedics (apparently headbutted one too) and his teammates were called to try to help but they couldn't and the police was called. Also that he was bleeding and at some time passed out. He went to the hospital in ambulance in restraints. Also right now he's "ok". He sploke to Wade. His life is not in danger. He could be bipolar and have a manic episode too. Drugs is not the only possibillity.

Lol, why in the hell is an NBA player doing Flakka? Not sure if he knew, but cocaine is well within an NBA player's price range.
Well he is missing a ring finger. Maybe he's having manic guilt trips about the way he lost his finger?
There's no way that it was flakka and the Heat didn't terminate him or at least suspend him more. Riley has low tolerance in general for drugs and esp for such hard drugs. Maybe it was a lighter kind of drug.(no idea what). It also takes out the mental breakdown hypothesis, since I doubt any team would dare to suspend a player because of phsychological issues. Same for the medical issue (hypglemic rage, meningitis etc). Also one of the Heat journalists posted that it's not drug related because then the NBA would suspend him not the Heat. I don't buy that. The NBA would suspend him if he was caught in a test by them which he wasn't.
