Ben Wallace must not have found another hobby during the NBA lockout. The Detroit Pistons center was arrested after getting pulled over in Bloomfield Township, Michigan this past weekend. The charges he faces are drunken driving and a concealed weapon charge.
Wallace, who is 37 years old, reportedly failed a breathalyzer test after blowing higher than a 0.08%. The concealed weapon in question was a gun found in a backpack. The local police department hasn’t given any further details.
Last season, Wallace averaged 2.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 22.9 minutes per game. In his prime, Wallace was one of the best defensive centers of the last two decades. The highlight of his career was helping lead the Pistons to the 2004 NBA championship.
Will Ben Wallace be suspended? First of all, it’s possible that he could simply retire. Secondly, the NBA might not be able to enforce a suspension due to the current NBA lockout — a situation that the NFL also faced.
