SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 6 (UPI) -- The Arizona Republic reported Friday that NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has had his 10-day jail sentenced reduced to three.

Barkley, 45, reportedly had the sentence reduced during a hearing in city court. He will begin serving his sentence Saturday.

Barkley pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge stemming from a DUI arrest in December.
