Carmelo Anthony Arrested For DUI and Apologizes
Posted by Brian
Someone tell Carmelo that when your team is in a heated battle for the last playoff spot in the West, not a good idea to get smashed and try to drive home. After Sunday’s win by his Denver Nuggets over the Houston Rockets, Carmelo may have celebrated a bit too much and was pulled over for the suspicion of DUI.
This is what Melo had to say today:
“I want to apologize to my family, fans and the Denver Nuggets organization for my actions early Monday morning. As a leader, I know they expect a lot from me and I regret putting myself in this situation. I also want to apologize to my teammates for the distraction this has caused,” said Anthony, who is averaging 25.8 points and 7.4 rebounds in 76 games this season.
“Right now, I need to focus on my family and on basketball as my priorities. I want to thank everyone who has continued to support me during this difficult time. My attorneys have asked that I not comment further, however I will continue to cooperate with all parties involved,” Anthony said.
At least he will be available for a playoff run and maybe this will give him some more focus because with that eighth playoff spot, he will need it.
