The NBA said Thursday that guard Devonte’ Graham of the San Antonio Spurs has been suspended without pay for two games after entering a guilty plea to a charge of driving while intoxicated, which is against North Carolina law.

Following his guilty plea to a charge of driving while intoxicated in North Carolina, Spurs guard Devonte’ Graham was suspended by the NBA for two games without pay, the league announced on Wednesday.

The next regular season game he is able to play will mark the start of his ban.

Following his arrest in Raleigh, North Carolina in July 2022, Graham entered a plea in late June on the minor offense.

Graham entered the plea during a court hearing after reaching an agreement with the prosecution, according to a representative for the Wake County District Attorney’s Office.

At the time, TMZ Sports announced that the 28-year-old Graham’s speeding ticket had been dropped.

At about three in the morning, Graham, a player for the New Orleans Pelicans, was pulled over for speeding. He tested positive for alcohol with a blood alcohol content of.11, beyond the legal limit of.08.

After being acquired by the Spurs in a trade with the Pelicans on February 9 of last year, Graham, 28, averaged 13.0 points per game over 20 games.
