NBA and NCAA men’s basketball analyst Greg Anthony was arrested early Friday evening in Washington, D.C. on solicitation charges as part of a sting operation by D.C. police. Anthony was scheduled to call the Michigan State-Maryland game in College Park today for CBS, but the company announced that the former Runnin’ Rebel was suspended indefinitely and a spokesperson indicated he “will not be working again for CBS this season.”
Anthony was also part of TNT’s rotating broadcast crew to replace Steve Kerr on NBA broadcasts, and Turner has reacted to the arrest similarly.
