A year ago, Sacramento Kings point guard Ty Lawson received something of a break when Denver County Court Judge Olympia Fay sentenced the former Denver Nuggets star to probation and community service for an impaired driving incident back in 2015. On March 22, Lawson will again face Judge Fay, except this time he might not be so lucky. Lawson will need to “show cause” that his probation should not be revoked and that he should not be sent to jail. If Judge Fay instead determines that Lawson—who the Denver Post reports has failed three alcohol tests since last September and failed to perform 48 hours of required community service—has violated the terms of his probation, she could order the 29-year-old, former UNC standout to spend some time behind bars.
