SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- When Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans and the brothers that form "Team Tyreke" planned out his first season in the NBA, winning the Rookie of the Year award was part of the career map they refer to as "The Blueprint."Being placed in handcuffs in the back of a police car during his first offseason as a pro, however, was not.
The reigning Rookie of the Year was involved in a high-speed chase without even knowing it on Monday evening in Sacramento, when a California Highway Patrol air unit spotted him topping out at 130 miles per hour and possibly racing another car on a local freeway on which the maximum speed allowed is 65 mph.
According to numerous reports, ground officers reached him at 6:58 p.m. after he arrived for a pickup game at a neighborhood park. Because Evans' 2010 black Mercedes-Benz S550 has four tinted windows, officers drew their guns during what was deemed a "felony stop."
Evans and his passenger cooperated, with officials noting that neither man was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Evans was released from the cuffs and the car on site and cited for reckless driving. But the real trouble would come later, when the oldest of four Evans brothers, Julius, called the youngest of the bunch from his New Jersey home.
