"Greg Anthony will not be working again for CBS this season," the spokesperson said in an email.
Anthony, 47, was arrested Friday evening after making an
agreement for sexual favors, according to Washington's Metropolitan
Police Department.
He was booked into jail and released, Officer Hugh Carew said.
Anthony issued an apology on Saturday to his wife, family and colleagues, saying he made a mistake.
"With this lapse of judgment, I embarrassed many,
including myself," he said. "I will work to regain the trust that I have
lost, and the first step is saying that I am sorry."
Anthony played 11 seasons in the National Basketball
Association before joining CBS in 2008 as lead studio analyst for the
network's college basketball coverage, according to his network
biography.
He
previously played on the University of Nevada, Las Vegas team that won
the national college championship in 1990. He was drafted into the NBA
in 1991 by the New York Knicks.
He had been scheduled to work CBS' broadcast of the
Michigan State-Maryland basketball game in College Park, Maryland, on
Saturday.
