Gabe Pruitt scored two points last night in the Celtics loss to the Clippers before getting arrested for suspicion of DUI.

According to TMZ, Celtics point guard Gabe Pruitt was arrested early this morning for suspicion of DUI. He was pulled over in Hollywood at 3:15 a.m., hours after the Celtics lost to the Clippers. He failed sobriety tests and blew a breathalyzer over the legal limit. He was put in jail and posted bail of $5,000. No comment from the team yet.

My Take: Pruitt did go to school at USC so he knows people in the area, but why exactly was he driving somewhere at 3 a.m. after a game? Idiot mistake by a young kid, a kid who has got some more playing time recently but won’t anymore with Marbury probably on his way in. This isn’t the kind of publicity he needs.
