Nuggets' Anthony apologizes to team, fans for DUI arrest

DENVER -- All-star forward Carmelo Anthony has apologized to the Denver Nuggets and their fans for his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Anthony spoke for about two minutes Tuesday at the Pepsi Center, reading from a prepared statement and also talking off-the-cuff. Teammate Allen Iverson stood off to the side as Anthony spoke.

Police say Anthony was pulled over for weaving and failing to dim his lights at about 4 a.m. Monday on Interstate 25. He was alone in the car.

His arrest came hours after his worst game of the season, when he scored 11 points in a 111-94 victory over Houston on Sunday night.
