A few weeks ago, it was former Lakers and Clippers player Norm Nixon. Today, it's Clippers player Zach Randolph, arrested for an alleged DUI. From City News Service:

California Highway Patrol officers stopped a white Rolls Royce that Randolph was driving about 2:25 a.m. near Washington Boulevard, the CHP reported.
The vehicle was being operated "at approximately 60 miles per hour and weaving in and
out of the No. 4 lane," the CHP reported in a statement.
"Upon contacting Randolph, the officers noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from within the vehicle," the statement continued. Officers determined that Randolph was "under the influence of alcohol," according to the statement.
Randolph, 27, was booked for DUI and bail was set at $5,000, the CHP reported.
Randolph was released on bail about 9 a.m., and was scheduled to appear April 27 at the Airport Courthouse, the sheriff's department reported.

Last night, the Clippers put on a mighty rush against the Lakers at Staples Center, but missed a shot at the buzzer to try to tie, and lost 88-85.
