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.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
