Ayton, a native of the Bahamas, last played for the Bahamian national team in 2024.

Francis said the marijuana had been in someone else's bag, which led to a swift release of Ayton following a brief investigation.

"The investigators saw that the actual very small amount of marijuana wasn't in Deandre's bag, but they still went through their investigations and he was released expeditiously,"Francis told Reutersin a statement.

Agent: Buccaneers WR Mike Evans intends to play in '26

Mike Evans intends to continue his NFL career, though the exact location is to be determined.

Field Level Media

The 32-year-old wide receiver's agent, Deryk Gilmore, told NFL.com and ESPN on Tuesday that Evans is coming back.

"He is opening it up," Gilmore said of Evans' free agency in a statement to NFL.com. "He will play next season with someone. It could be Tampa. But he will definitely play a 13th season."

Evans has played his entire career with the Buccaneers, who selected him seventh overall in the 2014 draft. He was a key piece in the Tom Brady-led squad that won the Super Bowl after 2020 season.

Evans topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 11 seasons before finishing with just 30 catches for 368 yards and three touchdowns in eight games last year. He missed three games due to a hamstring injury and six because of a broken collarbone, though he was back for the season's final month.

The Texas A&M product just completed a two-year contract that featured an average annual salary of $20.5 million.

In 176 career games (175 starts), Evans has compiled 866 receptions for 13,052 yards and 108 touchdowns. He is Tampa Bay's all-time leader in all three of those categories as well as scoring (662 points).

Texas Tech star JT Toppin injures lower right leg in loss to Arizona State

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Tech star JT Toppin was doing his usual work in the paint Tuesday night, pouring in buckets and grabbing rebounds against Arizona State in a tough road environment.

Then late in the second half, the junior forwarddrove to the basket before going down in a heap, holding his right leg.

The 13th-ranked Red Raiders can recoverfrom their 72-67 loss to the Sun Devils. But it's going to be much harder if the 6-foot-9 Toppin — a preseason All-America selection averaging nearly 22 points per game — is out for an extended period.

Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland said Toppin injured his lower leg with 6:03 remaining, but wasn't sure about the severity. Toppin stayed down for a few minutes before needing assistance to gingerly limp off the court.

"It's hard to say until we get it looked at closely," McCasland said. "But I just know he's really disappointed. He's such a competitor. We'll get back and get him looked at."

Toppin finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists and four blocks, and the Red Raiders were obviously shaken when he left the floor. He sat on the bench for a brief period before going back to the locker room.

"I hope he's OK, and I hate to see a guy go out of a game like that. He's one of the best players in the country," Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley said. "My heart goes out to him and hope that he's back soon for them."

Texas Tech was trailing 61-56 at the time of the injury and fell behind 67-56 over the next few minutes. The Red Raiders regrouped and pulled to 70-67 in the final seconds, but Christian Anderson turned the ball over, costing them a chance to tie the game with a 3-pointer.

"It knocked us on our heels a little bit," McCasland said of Toppin's injury. "But, man, we've got a competitve group and found a way to get it to a one-possession game. Gave ourselves a chance late, which is what you want. I told our team that I loved the group that was on the floor at the end and the fight.

"If we had done that for the previous 38, 37 minutes, then we would have put ourselves in better position."
