Steve Francis is having a pretty bad year. After arrests for DUI and burglary, the former NBA star and his estranged wife are now hammering out a divorce settlement. She’s also calling him out with allegations of drug abuse.
According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Shelby Francis claimed Steve has “severe substance issues” and asked a judge to order him to undergo random drug and alcohol testing. She also claims Steve’s been to rehab “prior to and during the divorce” which was filed in June 2015.
The former Houston Rockets star has dealt with rampant speculation about possible drug use and has vehemently denied there was an issue, although it would explain his bizarre behavior and change in his physical appearance.
Shelby’s lawyer, Chad Pinkerton, says the exes reached an agreement through mediation last week. He also says final docs haven’t been filed, but they’re close.
