UPDATE: CBS has suspended Anthony indefinitely for the remainder of the college basketball season following an arrest for solicitation of a prostitute:
A CBS spokeswoman says “Greg Anthony will not be working again for CBS this season.” Turner Sports also suspended the TV commentator and says it “will have no further comment.”

Lt. Kelvin Cusick tells The Associated Press that Anthony was arrested at 5:46 p.m. on Friday. He said Saturday that Anthony faces a misdemeanor solicitation charge that’s punishable by up to 180 days in jail.
Turner Sports, where Anthony works as an analyst for NBA TV, has also suspended him indefinitely:
