The Phoenix Suns suspended Jason Richardson without pay for one game, after he was jailed and booked on counts or endangerment, reckless driving, failure to use a child seat and excessive speed Sunday.Â
“I just want to apologize to everybody, teammates, my family, especially my fiancee,” Richardson said. “This is a tough time for me. I’ve been questioned as a basketball player, questioned as a person, but my fatherhood in question is tough, because I try to be the best father I can be and try to keep my kids out of harm’s way.”
Richardson was driving 90 mph in a 35-mph zone in Scottsdale with his 3-year-old son unrestrained in the back seat.
