Former UConn star Diana Taurasi spent a day in jail and will have to successfully complete alcohol-education classes as part of a deal her attorney worked out. Taurasi could have spent 10 days in jail but the other nine days were suspended and the charges of extreme DUI and speeding were dropped when she pleaded guilty to DUI on Oct. 12.

Taurasi was pulled over in Phoenix on July 2 as the arresting officer said she was driving erratically and more than 20 miles over the 35 miles per hour speed limit. She was given a field sobriety test and her blood alcohol content was 0.17, more than twice the legal limit in Arizona.

Taurasi was suspended for two games by the Phoenix Mercury for "conduct detrimental to the team."

Taurasi would return to lead the Mercury to its second WNBA title in the last three seasons. She is currently in Russia playing for three-time defending EuroLeague women's champion Spartak Moscow Region. Taurasi had 27 points in a 95-71 win over Frisco Sika Brno on Wednessday.
