Female college basketball star and team captain suspended after DV arrest

Story here. Excerpt:

'The University of New Mexico women’s basketball team has indefinitely suspended its team captain Ebony Walker in response to a recent domestic violence arrest. Walker is accused of throwing a knife at her boyfriend after a fight with her boyfriend at an apartment in southeast Albuquerque on Tuesday night.

Lobo women’s basketball head coach Yvonne Sanchez addressed Walker’s arrest at a news conference on Thursday.

“When people put their hands on each other in an angry manner, it’s not okay. Either way, it’s not okay, and I don’t take it lightly, I take it very seriously,” said Sanchez.

Sanchez says Walker has been suspended indefinitely and won’t be allowed to practice with the team. Sanchez says the suspension will also include the team’s Sunday exhibition game, however, she says Walker has not been kicked off the team at this point.'
