The arrest was in connection to Bazemore’s DUI conviction last summer. Part of his sentencing included attending Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP) classes. He failed to show up to his required classes, prompting an arrest warrant to be issued.
Bazemore, a senior, averaged 15.4 points and 5.9 rebounds this season. Both were career highs for the 6-foot-5 guard, who will now look to make the move to the NBA.
