Knicks PG Jason Kidd tweets out regret after DWI arrest

Days after being charged with a DWI, Jason Kidd is regretful.

The New York Knicks point guard tweeted out his first public statement on his DWI charge Friday afternoon while also thanking those close to him for their support.

I regret any disruption my accident last weekend may have caused members of the community and want to thank the local authorities.

Just days after signing with the Knicks while Jeremy Lin’s future with the franchise was in doubt, Kidd crashed his SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons.

Kidd’s arrest came hours after the Knicks signed Raymond Felton, bringing on another point guard to the roster before ultimately not matching the Houston Rockets’ offer sheet to Lin.
