Detroit Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been suspended two games by the NBA for pleading guilty to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, the league announced Friday.
Here is the full statement from the NBA:
NEW YORK – Detroit Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been suspended for two games without pay for pleading guilty to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, in violation of the law of the State of Michigan, the NBA announced today.
Caldwell-Pope's suspension will commence with the next NBA regular season game that he is eligible and physically able to play.
The suspension stems from a March arrest in which Caldwell-Pope was pulled over for driving 20 mph over the speed limit and failed a field sobriety test, according to police reports.
The 24-year-old shooting guard is a restricted free agent this offseason, and is expected to receive significant offers after averaging 13.8 points on 35 percent 3-point shooting for Detroit last season.
