Graham was arrested for failure to appear in court last July after being cited for driving with an expired tag, according to a Kansas Athletics news release.
“This is my fault,” Graham said Thursday morning in the news release. “I was driving an ex-teammate’s car and I thought the ticket was paid so I didn’t pay attention to the Notice to Appear that I got. That’s on me, and I apologize to everyone. I learned a lesson the hard way.”
KU head basketball coach Bill Self also made the following statement in the same release:
“Devonte’ made a mistake. This is why we tell our guys to inform us when they receive a citation, no matter how minor. For their sake we don’t want something so minor to become a story.”
