Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey was cited for driving 101 mph in a 55-mph zone in Tippecanoe County, Ind., the Lafayette Journal & Courier reported Thursday.
The violation occurred on May 1 while Edey was driving a Kia Sorento on Indiana 25, according to the report. Edey was cited and released at the scene, with a court hearing scheduled for Monday on a charge of misdemeanor reckless driving.
Edey, 23, averaged 9.2 points with 8.3 rebounds in 66 games (55 starts) this past season when he was named NBA All-Rookie First Team. The 7-foot-4, 305 pounder was the No. 9 overall selection in last year’s draft, after he was a two-time national college player of the year and a two-time first-team All-American.
