The NBA announced Friday that Detroit Pistons swingman Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been suspended two games after a March arrest on suspicion of DUI, according to Sports Illustrated's Jeremy Woo.

Caldwell-Pope, 24, eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of allowing a person to drive under the influence.

An impending restricted free agent, Caldwell-Pope averaged 13.8 points on 39.9 percent shooting from the field, including a career-high 35.0 percent from three last season.

According to the Detroit Free Press' Vince Ellis, the Pistons are "prepared to match" any offer sheet Caldwell-Pope receives.

The suspension marks the second of the offseason for the Pistons after restricted free agent Reggie Bullock was banned for the first five games of next season for violating the terms of the NBA's anti-drug policy.
