Former Atlanta Hawk forward John Drew, 32, a two-time NBA All-Star, scheduled to go on trial Monday on drug charges, instead entered a guilty plea.

Under a negotiated plea, Drew was sentenced to six months in the Fulton County jail. He already has served three months since his arrest Oct. 3, 1986 on two counts of selling cocaine and one count of cocaine possession.

Drew, 32, also was sentenced to five years probation under which it will be necessary for him to get a minimum of eight months of rehabilitation therapy. If Drew violates the probation, Superior Court Judge Joel Fryer said he could impose up to a 60-year prison term.
