LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KFOX14/CBS4) — A men’s basketball player from New Mexico State University has been “indefinitely suspended” after he attacked a player from Liberty during Thursday’s game.

NM State Athletics announced their decision on Friday to indefinitely suspend Robert Carpenter from all team activities.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show Carpenter sucker-punching a player from the opposite team.

According to NM State Athletics, Carpenter would normally be suspended for one game, but the NMSU men’s basketball program feels that his actions go against the program’s principles and will not be tolerated.

Carpenter took to social media to apologize for his actions.

NM State Head Men’s Basketball Coach Jason Hooten also sent out an apology to Liberty University and Coach McKay.

In his statement, Hooten added that after the game Carpenter met with the other Liberty player and apologized to him “face-to-face.”

Hooten also said that despite Carpenter’s aggression, he believes he is a good kid.
