The end of the season for Dwight Howard went from bad to worse after he found himself in legal trouble.
Hours after the Hawks were bounced from the NBA playoffs by the Wizards in Game 6, Howard was pulled over early April 29 by police in Dunwoody, Ga., for speeding. The officer discovered Howard had been driving on a suspended registration and without insurance and had his car towed, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
When Howard was told that he came up as flagged for not having insurance and a suspended registration, the Hawks big man seemed "confused" and insisted he had insurance, according to the police report. But Howard was unable to present an insurance card to the officer.
Howard was issued a citation for not having insurance and received a verbal warning for speeding, even though he was going 95 mph in a 65 mph zone.
His car, a 2016 Audi Rs7, was impounded. The Hawks declined comment about the incident.
