The NBA announced Wednesday San Antonio Spurs point guard Devonte’ Graham has been suspended for two games without pay. Graham pleaded guilty in June to an impaired driving charge in North Carolina in 2022 as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans. He will serve his suspension as soon as the regular season begins and he is available to play.

Graham pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge earlier this summer, according to TMZ. In July 2022, Graham was charged with speeding while intoxicated in his home town of Raleigh, North Carolina. TMZ reported these charges will be dropped as part of a guilty plea deal.

The Spurs traded for Graham in February of last year, and the 28-year-old guard will be an important playmaker for San Antonio next season. With two years and roughly $24 million remaining on his salary, Graham also represents an intriguing trade chip for the Spurs. Graham averaged 13.0 points and 4.0 assists per game in 28 appearances for San Antonio last season.
