Pistons G Caldwell-Pope suspended two games for DUI arrest
The Sports Xchange
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been suspended two games without pay after his recent guilty plea in a drunk-driving incident, the NBA announced Friday.
Caldwell-Pope’s suspension will take place for the first two games in which he is physically able to play during the 2017-18 campaign.
Earlier this month, Caldwell-Pope received 12 months probation after pleading guilty to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in Auburn Hills, Mich.
Caldwell-Pope was arrested in March after being pulled over for driving 45 mph in a 25 mph zone, according to police. After a field sobriety test, he was arrested and a breathalyzer test displayed he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.08.
The 24-year-old Caldwell-Pope averaged 13.8 points per game last season.
