Lawson, Williams say craps furor is just that

Posted Apr 4, 2009

Ty Lawson said that his decision to visit a casino and gamble earlier this week shouldn't concern anyone. "It's being blown out of proportion. There was nothing else to do, so I went over there with a couple of teammates and just played." Lawson said that he won about $250 at craps on Wednesday. Lawson went to the casino with teammate Marc Campbell. Lawson is 21, the minimum age to gamble, and Campbell is 22. (Winston-Salem Journal)
