According to TMZ Sports, Rider was taken into custody Thursday night and booked Friday morning after failing to comply with a court order.
Maricopa County jail records show Rider was found guilty of the misdemeanor offense. He is expected to remain in custody until Tuesday, according to the report.
The latest development comes several months after Rider was arrested twice in connection with a protective order involving his estranged wife.
TMZ Sports previously reported that Rider was arrested in December on allegations that he violated the order and was later taken into custody again after missing a court hearing related to the case.
Rider has denied the allegations made by his estranged wife, saying she sought the protective order because he was moving forward with their divorce. She has maintained the order was requested to protect herself and their child.
Rider was selected fifth overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 1993 NBA Draft and went on to enjoy an 11-year NBA career. He played for the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Hawks, Lakers and Nuggets, winning an NBA championship with Los Angeles in 2001.
He also captured the 1994 NBA Slam Dunk Contest and was widely regarded as one of the league's most electrifying athletes during his prime.
Now 55, Rider's latest headlines are once again coming away from the basketball court.
