Boston suspends Pruitt two games

Basketball Betting Lines

02/27/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Celtics suspended guard Gabe Pruitt for two games on Friday one day after his early morning arrest for drunken driving in Los Angeles.

"I recognize that my behavior was inappropriate and accept the consequences of my action as determined by the Celtics," said Pruitt.

According to the Boston Herald, the 22-year-old USC product was pulled over just prior to 3 a.m. in a Mercedes Benz stopped at a green light. The Los Angeles police department gave the Herald the official information, which includes his arrest and trip to the LAPD's Hollywood division jail where he was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge.

"I sincerely apologize for my actions which have caused unnecessary embarrassment to my family, my team and the Celtics organization," Pruitt said in a statement issued by the team on Thursday. "I used poor judgment and I am really disappointed in myself."

Pruitt is a Los Angeles area native after playing college basketball for the USC Trojans. He was back in the area for Boston's Wednesday night tilt versus the Clippers, and scored three points during the 93-91 loss.

A second-year player with the Celtics, Pruitt is averaging 2.3 points in 8.8 minutes per game this season, appearing in 36 games.
