Blaylock pleaded guilty to DUI and hit-and-run charges that stem from an incident that happened last March. Blaylock was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but is credited with having already served 14 days, attorney Don Samuel told Journal-Constitution. 

Blaylock was spotted walking toward a grocery story and fell in the parking lot after allegedly hitting a car on March, 20, 2013, his 46th birthday, according to Spalding County Sheriff’s Office. He then allegedly caused a head-on collision that killed a 43-year-old mother of five on May 31, according to police. 

Blaylock was critically injured in the car crash and later turned himself into Clayton County jail on several charges, including vehicular homicide, driving on a suspended license, making an improper lane change and crossing the median in the head-on crash from May 31.

A judge said she set $250,000 bond based on Blaylock's past DUI arrests dating back to 1996. Police have said at the time of the crash, Blaylock was wanted in Spalding County for failing to appear in court on a DUI charge from the March incident.

Blaylock's attorney has said his client blacked out just before the May 31 crash, and police say drugs and alcohol didn't appear to be a factor. No future court case has been set for Blaylock at this time.

Blaylock was a starting point guard for the Atlanta Hawks. Over a 13-year NBA career with the Nets, Hawks and Warriors, Blaylock averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.3 steals. He also was a two-time, first-team pick to the NBA’s All-Defensive Team.

WALLACE DONE


Boston Celtics forward Gerald Wallace will miss the remainder of the season after he underwent arthroscopic surgeries on his left knee and his left ankle on Tuesday morning.

Wallace was set to have postseason surgery to correct bone spurs on his left ankle, but an MRI revealed a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPNBoston.com. Wallace has played hard over his career and suffered many injuries, but this is the first time he has ever needed to have surgery in his 13 NBA seasons.

"The report that I got from [team trainer] Ed Lacerte was that they did both, the ankle and the knee, and that both went well," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said, according to ESPNBoston.com.

Wallace joined the Boston Celtics in the trade that sent Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets. Wallace played 58 games and averaged 5.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Wallace said he enjoyed the experience in Boston, even though he expressed frustrations at times.

"The experience has been fun," Wallace said Saturday. "Losing sucks. It always does. I feel like we're a lot better than what our record shows. We've had some ups and downs, some learning curves, not only from the players, but from the coaching staff as well. Everybody learning everybody was an adjustment. But I think, for the most part, it's been a great season."

THE SMITH BROTHERS


J.R. Smith's brother, Chris Smith, was released from the New York Knicks' D-League affiliate, the Erie Bayhawks, according to ESPNNewYork.com.

Part of the team's decision to release Smith is rooted in the fact that he had several run-ins with the team's coaching staff, ESPNNewYork.com learned.

Smith was on the Knicks' 15-man roster when the season started, and the team's decision became a running joke around the NBA. Chris Smith and the Knicks confirmed that J.R. Smith's presence played a part in the team's decision.

Fellow players also took notice of Chris Smith's presence on the team as well. Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings made comments in a tweet that led to a slight social media feud. This issue led to a $25,000 fine for J.R. Smith because he directed threatening tweets at Jennings.

ROPEY THE HORSE


You often hear stories about the lengths to which NBA players were willing to go to as youths searching for a basketball game.

Indiana Pacers guard George Hill does not have one of those stories. Instead of braving long walks to his favorite court as a kid in Indianapolis, George took leisurely strolls on his horse, Ropey.

Sadly, Hill no longer knows the whereabouts of his beloved Ropey. Ropey and a horse that belonged to Hill's dad were impounded when someone cut the locks off the fence that housed them both. Hill's family didn't have the money to get them out of the impound.

Before that unfortunate end to his relationship with Ropey, Hill lived out a scene straight from the Wild Wild West movie when he chased down one horse while riding another. Let Hill tell you the full  details here  because, as he said, the media has twisted up the story of Ropey.
