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.'

“It still amazes me that Bill Clinton solicited sex with an employee and remained on the job. But sports announcer, gone.”
Do you think it would have been the same if he supported Obama in 2012 instead of Romney?
Stupid, stupid, stupid! Now had he converted to islam and had been RUNNING a prostitution RING with underage girls, he’d get a pass by the Holder Just Us system.
Nobody's arguing about the constitutionality of it: Neither "rights" are in the Constitution, so states have the power to legalize and regulate or ban them as they see fit.
No worries. Marv Albert works for them.
In before the perverts show up to applaud. .. never mind, perverts are here already.
uh oh
The real reason CBS was so quick to jettison him.
You mean Eric H0lder, Federal Dick, ....?
YES!!!
"I’m shocked that See BS had a Republican working for them."
Who was the Republican he was campaigning for ?
You just won the internet.
No, prostitution is not a victimless crime.
Every once in a while there seems to be a “libertarian” argument on FR about the validity of prostitution. It is discouraging to me. Here are the reasons I think prostitution is wicked and evil and wrong:
It destroys kids.
Sex causes children. Even with perfectly used birth control, sex causes children. I know, I worked in a CPC for years, half my pregnant clients were using birth control of one type or another when they got pregnant.
The children produced by prostitute sex are either miscarried, aborted, or raised by a whore.
The results are death, death, and madness.
Consider the number of serial killers with whore moms. It’s incredible. To have a whore for a mom is psychological devastation to a child.
Not to mention, no dad in the picture, ever. With all the accompanying societal destruction.
You can NOT have sex without consequences. God’s plan is for sex between two married people. It’s for our benefit, not our punishment.
Additionally, it destroys men, bringing out their worst characteristics and destroying their best. A man is at his best when defending women and children, not destroying them. His narcissism is fed and he becomes just another guy looking out for number one. No love, no empathy, no manliness at all. A permanent juvenile.
Further, honest women who marry and work hard are threatened constantly in their security by strippers and prostitutes. How valuable are they? What are they good for? When prostitution is held harmless, there is no place in society for a decent woman, unless she wants to go out and be a man in some way.
Young girls are cheapened the more a society promotes prostitution. They see that their value as a human being is frequently limited to their sexual attractiveness, period.
Sexually transmitted diseases increase the more prostitution and promiscuity there is. We may pretend there is no societal consequence to this, but that is really denying reality.
Sympathy and justice for rape victims is more and more senseless. Is not a rape something the girl on the corner would submit to for $75? What is the big deal? Make it a misdemeanor. Pay no attention to the fact that rape victims are often psychologically destroyed for life.
Finally, the female prostitutes are generally chewed up messes before they even start this up. Most of them are abuse survivors who are addicted to something. Not all, but most. Yes, they are adults, but they are adults dedicated to destroying themselves as thoroughly as possible. Many have to be literally enslaved to do this to themselves.
It pains me to have to line out these issues which I would think are easily observable to anyone who cares.
"Fox News is ok with it as long as it's just feet."
When you pick up a chick at a bar, there’s no guarantee that you’re going to get anything for your money.
You know what they say. Never get between a libertarian and his hookers and blow. Libertarianism is a theoretical construct that only works in a perfect world with perfect people. Do you know how to create a libertarian? Just take a conservative and remove all common sense.
You just got “post of the year”.
But Republican sports announcer, gone.
Oh you are so wrong, the victim here is the IRS! After all when has a prostitute or pimp paid taxes on their income.
Remember, to the marxists, Romney is a far right conservative and eeeeeeeeevil capitalist pig.
