Analysis:

Felton was arrested in late-February and charged with criminal firearm possession in he second, third and fourth degrees. The incident began as a domestic dispute but escalated to the point that police were involved. The deal allows Felton to avoid jail time, but he'll plead guilty to a felony and face fines. Though Felton could face further discipline from the NBA, it's unlikely the situation affects his on-court production next season.
