The Miami Heat have suspended guard Dion Waiters for a third time this season, they announced Thursday, this time for "failure to adhere to team policies, violation of team rules and continued insubordination."

Waiters will have to sit at least through a Dec. 23 game against the Utah Jazz, meaning he'll miss the team's next six games. The team's following game is Dec. 27 against the Pacers.

This latest suspension follows a 10-game ban he received in November for conduct detrimental to the team after an incident on the team charter flight. Sources told ESPN he experienced a "panic attack" after consuming a THC-infused edible.

League rules prohibit the use of THC, one of the main compounds in cannabis.

Waiters was also suspended for the team's season opener for detrimental conduct, although the team never disclosed the nature of his suspension.

In a statement at the time, Heat president Pat Riley said: "There were a number of unacceptable incidents this week, culminating with his unprofessional conduct on the bench last night. As a consequence, I feel we had to suspend him."
