Houston Rockets guard Ty Lawson was suspended for three games by the NBA without pay for driving under the influence, the league announced Thursday.

Lawson’s suspension is for a DUI charge in California from July. It begins with Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz.

This is the second DUI-related suspension in two months for Lawson.

He was also suspended for two games last month for a DUI incident in Denver in Jan. 2015.
