Former New York Knicks guard and CBS basketball analyst Greg Anthony was arrested in Washington, D.C., for soliciting a prostitute.
According to the Associated Press, Anthony, who was in the area to announce the Michigan State-Maryland basketball game Saturday in nearby College Park, Md., was arrested at 5:46 p.m. Friday and was released later the same day. Lt. Kelvin Cusick told AP that Anthony "faces a misdemeanor solicitation charge that's punishable by up to 180 days in jail."
The 47-year-old Anthony played "11 seasons, with six teams, from 1991-92 to 2001-02, including the New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers," according to AP.
He averaged 7.3 points per game over the course of his career and has carved out a promising career since his retirement as a respected CBS analyst. No announcement was made on whether or not Anthony would still announce the college basketball game on CBS.
