"American Airlines has apologized to two black professional basketball players who were kicked off a plane in Dallas after a flight attendant accused them of stealing blankets.
AA spokesman Joshua Freed said on Tuesday that Memphis Hustle guard Marquis Teague and forward Trahson Burrell boarded the flight bound for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Sunday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The Hustle is an NBA G-League affiliate team of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies. Teague played a year at the University of Kentucky before being drafted in the first round of the 2012 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. Burrell played two seasons at the University of Memphis.
The flight was operated by Envoy Air. Two first-class passengers gave the players their blankets as they headed to their seats in coach. A black flight attendant accused the two men of theft and forced them off the plane."
