Finnish basketball prospect Miikka Muurinen has been fined €872 after police caught him driving at 76 kilometers per hour in Helsinki, where the speed limit was 40 kph.

The 19-year-old also did not have the right to drive in Finland. He presented officers with a US driver’s license that had already expired.

Muurinen is due to play NCAA basketball for the University of Arkansas next season. The 208-centimeter player briefly wore the jersey of Belgrade club Partizan last season, and his profile rose after last year’s European Championship, where he averaged 6.6 points and 1.9 rebounds.
