PHOENIX (Reuters) - Former NBA All Star Charles Barkley will serve three days in jail instead if 10 after a judge reduced his sentence for drunken driving.

The judge cut Barkley's jail time, which starts on Saturday, in return for the former player's promise to complete an alcohol treatment program, a Scottsdale city spokesman said on Friday.

Barkley, now an outspoken TV basketball analyst, was arrested on December 31 in the Phoenix suburb with a blood alcohol content nearly twice the level allowed under Arizona law.

The 46-year-old Hall of Famer will serve his jail time in a an outdoor facility where inmates live in tents and are forced to wear pink underwear.
