WALTHAM  While speaking at Celtics media day Monday, second-year center Vitor Faverani shot down Spanish media reports that he was arrested for drunk driving in Spain this summer.

Theres no truth, Faverani said of the story. Somebody in Spain tried to kill me [in the media] but he cant. So theres nothing of it. Im here, you know? Everybody knows in Spain: Theres no truth. So I dont care about [the report].

The 26-year-old downplayed the idea that he was even involved in any kind of automobile incident overseas. La Opinión de Málaga reported in July that Faverani had run a red light and crashed into a bus, which led to his arrest.

It was not a car accident, Faverani declared. I just broke one light right here, but [the author wrote] a lot of things like Im in jail. This is not true. He lied.

Last week, Danny Ainge told reporters at the Shamrock Foundation Golf Tournament that the team was contemplating a punishment for Faverani, based on the reported incident. Now, it appears the Celtics will not act on what Faverani declares is a fabricated story.

Im talking a lot with [Celtics director of player personnel] Austin Ainge and he just asked me if theres truth or no. I said no, theres no truth. He talked with my people in Spain, they say its not true. The people high above me believe me, and thats all, Faverani said.

Head coach Brad Stevens said Faverani is expected to be fully ready to take part in the teams training camp when it kicks off Tuesday. The center played in just 37 games in his rookie season before undergoing season-ending surgery last February to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee.
