NBA's Devonte' Graham Pleads Guilty To Driving While Impaired
We broke the story last week ... the 28-year-old was sentenced to unsupervised probation for 12 months after he had admitted to driving while impaired (a misdemeanor) back on July 7, 2022. The incident happened in Raleigh, N.C. when Graham -- a member of the Pelicans at the time -- had been pulled over for allegedly going 63 MPH in a 40 MPH zone at around 3 AM.
Cops said his blood alcohol content at the time was above the legal limit ... claiming he blew a .11.
Graham averaged 13 points and 4 assists last season. The 2023-24 NBA season is slated to begin in October.
