News is breaking that Miami Heat guard Dorell Wright was stopped last night for erratic driving of his Bentley in Miami and was subsequently charged today with DUI. Details have yet to be released, but inevitably he will be facing some fine or penalty from David Stern and the league. Here is what NBA.com had on the incident this afternoon:
Miami Beach police say Heat forward Dorell Wright has been charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license.
Wright was stopped around 3:30 a.m. Thursday, then booked. Bond was set at $1,000, according to Miami-Dade County corrections officials.
The team did not have an immediate comment, and Wright did not return a message left on his cell phone Thursday afternoon.
Wright is averaging 6.3 points in 57 games this season for the Heat. The team was off Thursday and hosts the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. {NBA.com}
