New York Knicks center Randolph Morris pleaded guilty Friday to reckless driving and agreed to pay a fine.
Morris, who was scheduled to appear in Fayette District Court for a preliminary hearing, didn't attend. His attorney, Jim Lowry, entered the guilty plea on his behalf and said the $100 fine and court costs would be paid Friday.
The former University of Kentucky star was arrested Aug. 7 in Lexington after an officer spotted him driving 62 mph — 17 mph over the speed limit — and failing to use a turn signal as he sped down an exit ramp.

After being criticized for his remarks Monday for calling dogfighting a sport and comparing it to hunting, Stephon Marbury told the New York Post for Thursday's editions that he despises dogfighting and that Michael Vick "is 100 percent wrong."
"I don't like it at all," Marbury said of dogfighting. "I don't think [Vick's] right. But this dude is trying to ask for forgiveness. ... The way the way it's going about in the newspapers and TV, it's ridiculous."
Marbury also said he never called dogfighting a sport.
"I said, 'From what I hear, dogfighting was a sport.' They're editing me on TV," he said.

Allan Houston says he believed in his heart that his career wasn't over when he retired two years ago because of knee problems.
Now he says his heart and body are on the same page and the former New York Knicks captain is ready for a comeback.
"I'm going to give it a shot," said Houston, whose foundation on Sunday will sponsor a Father Knows Best Retreat, a faith-based event in Harlem designed to strengthen father-son and mentor-mentee relationships. "I'm working out every day. I just have to figure out where it's going to be. In my heart I always felt it wasn't over. As I started working out, I felt my body was catching up with my heart."
Houston said playing for the Knicks isn't out of the question and that two teams have contacted him. The 6-6 guard said that while several teams, including Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit and Miami are going to be good, going to a good team doesn't guarantee a title.
