Minnesota Timberwolves guard Sebastian Telfair has been suspended without pay Tuesday for three games, the NBA announced Tuesday.
Telfair was arrested on a gun possession charge after a car in which he was driving was stopped for going 77 miles per hour in Yonkers, New York on April 20, 2007.
Telfair, who was on the Boston Celtics at the time, was charged with second-degree possession of a handgun and driving with a suspended license. He later pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a weapon.
"I've talked to Sebastian about the incident. This is something that happened in the past, and he is looking forward to putting this behind him," 'Wolves VP of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale said in a statement. "Since he has been a member of the Timberwolves, Sebastian has been a great teammate and has been actively involved in the community. I couldn't be more proud of Sebastian's continued improvement as a basketball player and as a young man."
