Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Amir Coffey was arrested early Sunday on a firearms misdemeanor in Hollywood, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coffey, 26, was a passenger in a vehicle that police pulled over for speeding shortly before 2 a.m., according to Los Angeles Police Officer Tony Im, a department spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coffey was cited for carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle, Im said. He was released on his own recognizance from a county jail on $10,000 bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 24, jail records show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver was cited for speeding, and another passenger received a misdemeanor for possession of marijuana, Im said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coffey has been with the Clippers for four seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re aware of a legal situation involving Amir Coffey and are looking into it,\u201d the team said in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s possible that Coffey could face sanctions from the NBA. The league typically reviews all matters of personal and criminal conduct and can issue a fine or suspension when it deems appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 6-foot-7 guard\/forward has been primarily a bench player and is averaging 5.5 points per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He played in 50 games last season, including nine starts, and averaged 3.4 points per game. His best season came in 2021-22, when he played in 69 games with 30 starts and averaged 9.0 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
