The Spurs draw their fair share of criticism between the lines (Manu flops! Bowen's dirty! Duncan whines!), but off the court they're pretty much impeccable. Or at least they were: DerMarr Johnson was ticketed for a DWI this past weekend.

Johnson was initially pulled over for doing 20 over, weaving and tailgating, and he proceeded to fail a field sobriety test as well as a breath test at the police station. From the San Antonio Express-News:

"I just had a few cups of wine," Johnson said as he left the city's detention center. [...] Asked if he believed the arrest would affect his position with the Spurs, Johnson said, "I don't know. Probably so."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Johnson is right: he appeared in just five games this year, signing with the Spurs in April after spending the vast majority of the season in the D-League. Guys like him aren't given the benefit of the doubt very often, and it's probably more trouble than its worth from a PR perspective to keep him around next year.

The weird thing is that you'd think Johnson should know better: he was sidelined for more than a year earlier in his career when he fractured his neck after driving his car into a tree. Alcohol was never blamed for that accident (he dosed off behind the wheel), but still, if anyone understands what could go wrong, it's him.
