Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert was arrested last month in Georgia on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to a statement released by the team on Friday.

Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert was arrested by Fayette County (GA) Police outside Atlanta for suspicion of DUI following an August 10th traffic stop for a lane violation. The Cavaliers have discussed the situation with Iman and will monitor the progression of the pending case. A court date has not been set at this point, and neither Iman or the team will have any additional comments while the matter progresses through the legal process.

The Cavaliers won the NBA title on June 19 when they defeated the Golden State Warriors, famously becoming the first team in NBA history to come back from a 3-1 Finals deficit. The 26-year-old Shumpert averaged 3.3 points and 2.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game during the postseason.
