Taurean Waller-Prince, 28, was taken into custody just before 8 p.m. on an out-of-state warrant and was awaiting extradition. NBC Sports reported the warrant is out of Texas, but details were not released on what charges he is facing.
Prince posted bond Friday afternoon.

The forward is a native of San Antonio, Texas, and played college basketball at Baylor. He was drafted with the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz and later played for the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Prince signed with Minnesota in the summer of 2021 and averaged just over seven points per game last season in helping the Timberwolves make the playoffs. He signed a two-year, $16 million deal this offseason.
