January 23, 2015 – Nuggets play without Ty Lawson, after he is arrested for drunk driving
In the early hours of January 23, Denver Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson was arrested for suspected driving drunk following a team function. Lawson posted bond, but did not play in that night’s game, a 100-99 loss to the Boston Celtics (above). He would later plead guilty to DWAI and failure to drive in a single lane. Earlier in the month, head coach Brian Shaw considered eliminating pregame shootaround workouts, because, as he told the Denver Post, “When you have a young team, you know, guys like to go out.”
