Eric Lockett Update
NC State plays at Duke tomorrow, but will certainly not have the services of Eric Lockett, who has been charged with misdemeanor assault on a female. Lockett has been suspended indefinitely from the basketball team. He turned himself in to police on Thursday, and has subsequently been released.
I did, however, talk with Eric Lockett's attorney and have updated details on Lockett's arrest and the altercation with Saskia Guilbaud.
Lockett went to practice on Tuesday afternoon *after* the incident. He turned himself in this morning at 5 am.https://t.co/Dd3x8XcU3w pic.twitter.com/NfJdreWm9S
