Charlotte Hornets guard James Bouknight was arrested for allegedly driving while impaired early Sunday morning … TMZ Sports has confirmed.
The 6’4″, 160-pounder was booked around 1:51 AM, according to the Mecklenburg Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina. His bond was listed at $2,500.
Bouknight was a star for the UConn Huskies before going 11th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft.
