Joseph Savarino, the grandson of legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, was charged Monday with misdemeanor driving while impaired in connection with a collision that killed a 15-year-old bicyclist.
Savarino, 26, admitted to drinking before the incident Saturday night, and a Breathalyzer test measured his blood alcohol concentration at 0.11%, according to Durham County court records. The legal limit is 0.08%.
The boy was riding his bike in northwest Durham when Savarino’s vehicle struck him, according to the police. Savarino was tested with the Breathalyzer about an hour after the incident, according to a police affidavit.
Savarino made his first court appearance Monday, and a judge revoked his driver’s license before releasing him on a $100,000 secured bond. The bond was posted by Debbie Savarino, Joseph’s mother and Krzyzewski’s daughter. She is an assistant athletic director at Duke.
Fox News Digital reached out to Savarino’s attorney, Butch Williams, but did not immediately hear back.

Savarino’s brother and another of Krzyzewski’s grandsons, Michael Savarino, pleaded guilty to a DWI in July 2022 stemming from a November 2021 incident.
Michael Savarino was operating a vehicle owned by then-Duke star and current Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero in November 2021. As part of his plea agreement, he was sentenced to 12 months’ probation, was fined, had to do community service, and completed a treatment program.

Banchero was charged with aiding and abetting DWI, but the charges were eventually dropped.
Savarino, who was 20 at the time of the incident, was a walk-on for his grandfather’s team and played in 13 games.
