NBA’s Rookie of the Year was busted by the The California Highway Patrol. Sacramento Kings’ Tyreke Evans was cited for reckless driving according to the CHP. DUI was not involved.

The CHP air patrol spotted Evans driving a 2010 black Mercedes S550 at more than 100 miles per hour on Interstate 80. The air unit followed the car until it stopped at a park near Bell Road and Taylor Street in Sacramento where a patrol car was able to catch up to Evans. Firearms were drawn because of the black tinted windows. Evans was cooperative with officers and will appear in court to answer for this event.

Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans has had a good rookie season. He will apparently receive the Rookie of the Year award, according to sources of the Sacramento Bee.

Evans finished off the season with an average of 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game, making him the fourth rookie in league history after Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James to average at least 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Not too of a group to be included into.

You can be sure the other two guys in the hunt for the award, the Golden State Warriors’ Sephen Curry and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Brandon Edwards, are bumming right about now after stellar seasons.
