Charles Oakley said around 80% routinely when he played. I'd say around that smoke recreationally, meaning once-twice a week or 6-7 times a month. Quite a few, like Michael Beasley, have been known to play high all the time.
Does it really matter though? Cannabis is relatively harmless if you don't do it habitually. And i'm not a smoker myself, just someone who knows the truth.

Lets make it Black and White. NBA is probably at least 80% Black. I bet 90% of Black NBA players smoke weed ( and nothing wrong with weed either), a lot of the White boys probably smoke it too !
If THC ( stays around for months) isn't even tested for then what about cocaine and other stuff ? Does the NBA test for anything at all ?
Maybe they test for steroids ?
I bet these guys smoke joints at halftime. I would if I was them ! I don't think it really helps long-term but I could see a pot-buzz perhaps putting you into a buzzed zone where the basketball shots just start falling nicely like crazy.

unofficially, this was the nba's stance on weed in 2009. i didn't want to spend that much time on this.
NBA players are required to undergo four random tests every season between Oct. 1 and June 30. But a player who tests positive for marijuana is not subjected to his first five-game suspension -- or even public knowledge he has failed a drug test -- until his third failed test.
