NBA: Celtics suspend Pruitt 2 games after DUI

Associated Press

BOSTON — The Boston Celtics have suspended guard Gabe Pruitt for two games after he was arrested in Hollywood for misdemeanor drunken driving.

In a statement today, the team says the second-year guard was being suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team." Pruitt says in the statement he knew his behavior was "inappropriate," and he accepted the consequences.

Pruitt was detained early Thursday, hours after the Celtics lost to the Los Angeles Clippers. Police say he was detained for stopping at a green light and having dark tinted windows, which are illegal in California. Police say Pruitt then failed a field sobriety test.
