The DUI train strikes again! What is going on with this team?
The Sacramento Kings tonight issued a statement acknowledging that Antoine Wright (left) was arrested this morning on suspicion of driving under the influence in Rocklin.
"We are extremely disappointed in the situation Antoine has created for himself and the organization," Kings' president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said in the statement. "There certainly has been no shortage of education and/or resources made available to our players in regard to these types of dangerous behaviors. We will, however, respect his right of due process at this time."
The statement also included an apology from Wright, a forward guard who wears No. 3: "I'm sorry for having gotten myself into this situation. I sincerely apologize to my teammates and coaches, the Sacramento Kings organization, the Sacramento community and fans and my family."
Wright, 26, is a five-year veteran who played in college at Texas A&M.
