Gabe Pruitt: ExclusiveGabe Pruitt was arrested this morning for suspicion of DUI.

Pruitt, a member of the Boston Celtics, was pulled over around 3:15 AM in the Hollywood area. Sources tell TMZ Pruitt failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit.

He was taken to a local jail and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was $5,000.

Pruitt, who went to college at USC in Los Angeles, scored three points last night in the Celtics' 93-91 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

UPDATE: The Celtic suspended Pruitt for two games for "conduct detrimental to the team."

10. TMZ needs to find something better to report on and leave him ALONE. He's a great guy and COME ON the alcohol blood level here in California is ridiculous. Anyone can fail a sobriety test. Get back to the OctoMom news.

14. Gabe was recently quoted in an interview as saying

SLAM: Fellas give me something on the first time you put on the uniforms. Growing up a Sixers fans, I hated that kelly green with a passion but as I grow older, I’ve learned to have an appreciation for the nostalgia.

Gabe Pruitt: I always do too. Every time I put on this uniform, you get a different feeling. I just want to make sure I perform in it well.

Obviously he wasn't wearing the unifrom when he got his DUI.....
