MIAMI -- Miami Beach police say Heat forward Dorell Wright has been charged with DUI and driving with a suspended license.Wright was stopped around 3:30 a.m. Thursday, then booked. Bond was set at $1,000, according to Miami-Dade County corrections officials. The arrest came just hours after Wright played 22 minutes in a win over the Los Angeles Clippers -- a win that put the Heat one game ahead of the Chicago Bulls in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
As it happens, the Bulls will be in town to face the Heat on Friday, but it's not yet known if Wright will be available to play, as he almost certainly faces a multiple game suspension. For context, Minnesota's Al Jefferson was suspended two games following a similar offense last month. Wright is averaging 6.3 points in 57 games this season for the Heat.
The team did not have an immediate comment, and Wright did not return a message left on his cell phone by the Associated Press Thursday afternoon.
This is the second traffic-related incident involving a member of the Heat in the last several weeks, although the first did not involve alcohol. Carlos Arroyo was arrested on his way to practice the morning of Feb. 26 after initially failing to pull over after police determined he was impeding traffic by driving too slowly. He's been charged with a traffic violation, resisting arrest without violence and failing to obey a lawful order.
