Ty Lawson will miss the Ty Lawson Skills Camps taking place at Chapparal High School July 14-17 due to “travel,” According to Lionel Beinvenu of KMGH ABC-7. It’s yet another PR faux pas for the embattled Nuggets point guard.
It was reported Tuesday morning that Lawson was arrested in Los Angeles on DUI charges.

ANA Basketball, who puts on the camp, sent out the original message Monday, informing fans that Lawson will not be a part of this year’s camp due to travel.

The ANA web page for this year’s camp is also currently producing a 404 ‘File Not Found’ error.
Instead, Jimmer Fredette will be appearing in Lawson’s place.
Big thank you to Jimmer Fredettte for stepping up and making a special guest appearance at the A N'A Skills camp… http://t.co/lPLMB4cMe6
