CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Charlotte Bobcats guard Raymond Felton was slightly injured in a car accident and his status for an upcoming six-game road trip is unclear.
He was vacationing in Myrtle Beach, S.C., on Sunday when his car was rear-ended at a red light, the team said Monday. He sustained whiplash and complained of a sore back.
"My friends and I are blessed to escape this accident with only minor injuries, and thankfully I was wearing my seat belt," Felton said in a statement.
Lori Boggs, 24, of Myrtle Beach, was charged with driving while impaired, Myrtle Beach Police Capt. David Knipes said.
Felton, the fifth overall pick out of North Carolina in the NBA draft, returned to Charlotte for further evaluation. The Bobcats play Tuesday night in Denver.
In 53 games this season, Felton is averaging 9.4 points and 4.5 assists in 26 minutes.
