CBS suspended basketball analyst Greg Anthony indefinitely following his arrest Friday evening on a charge of soliciting a prostitute, a network spokeswoman said.
The 47-year-old former NBA player was arrested around 5.46pm and released later that evening, District of Columbia Police Lt Kelvin Cusick said.
'Greg Anthony will not be working again for CBS this season,' said a spokeswoman for the network. Turner Sports also suspended Anthony, but said it 'will have no further comment.'
Anthony faces a misdemeanor charge of solicitation, which is punishable by up to 180 days in jail.Â
Media reporter John Ourand tweeted Thursday afternoon that Anthony was scheduled to announce Saturday's game between Michigan State and Maryland game alongside Ian Eagle. Â
Anthony started his NBA career with the Knicks and played in New York for four years before being picked up by the Vancouver Grizzlies in the 1995 NBA expansion draft.
He finished with the Milwaukee Bucks after 11 seasons in the NBA, averaging 7.3 points per game over his entire career.
Anthony has also been politically involved, appearing in a Nevada campaign ad for Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential bid, calling the Republican Party nominee a 'no excuse kind of guy.'

Greg Anthony gets suspended for being with a prostitute yet Bill Clinton is the Saint of the Democrat party for raping women and having sex in the oval office
Hey, remember, he did *not* have sex with that woman...
Dude, what were you thinking? This is what the VIP rooms of your classier strip joints are for. They pay a lot of money in taxes and “fees” to the local govt. and they use the same hookers that service the local politicians (the ones conveniently not being watched by the coppers). This isn’t the kind of deal that you want to be working yourself. Dude got impatient or was doing it on the cheap, that’s where he went wrong.
Victimless crime, that’s rich. Tell that to the John’s wife and kids when he can’t make it home before midnight anymore, and brings home VD and a drug addiction when he does. When you roll around with pigs, you get dirty. Frequenting these kinds of people isn’t something a person can manage sensibly, the only way to “manage” it is to stay away from it entirely.
Agree, how can an ex NBA player, TV commentator be buying it on the street?
What a doofus.
I know you're being sarcastic, but you make a good point. If abortion is Constitutionally protected under some vague "right to privacy", and sodomy is protected under the same principle, then whatever two consenting adults do in the bedroom should also be protected, even if cash changes hands.
:’) Pretty sure this wasn’t his first rodeo.
