Cavs' Shumpert arrested on suspicion of DUI

In their the Cavaliers said they had discussed the situation with the player and "will monitor the progression of the pending court case", adding no date has now been set.

Shumpert was pulled over in Fayette County outside of Atlanta on August 10 for a lane violation, according to the Cavaliers.

Shumpert was charged with D.U.I Less Safe Drugs, Possession of Marijuana Less than 1 Ounce and Failure to Maintain Lane, according to the report.

Shumpert was a first-round pick by the Knicks in 2011 and was traded to Cleveland in 2015.

Iman Shumpert should've hit the brakes on his seemingly flawless summer. "Mr. Shumpert advised that he did not want to take the test if he had to go to the hospital".
