Allen Crabbe pleads no contest to lesser charge after DUI citation

Free-agent NBA guard Allen Crabbe, who was cited in June in Los Angeles for misdemeanor DUI, has pleaded no contest to a lesser charge.

Crabbe entered the plea on a misdemeanor count of speeding on a highway and was given three years probation. He was also ordered to complete DUI first offender and Mothers Against Drunk Driving programs, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday.

Crabbe was officially a member of the Brooklyn Nets at the time of the arrest on June 26, but the Nets had agreed to trade him to the Atlanta Hawks.

In January, Crabbe was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who waived him Saturday.

Crabbe, 27, played 37 games between the Hawks and the Wolves this season, averaging 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds.

He was scheduled to make $18.5 million on the season, which was the final year of his contract.
