Charlotte Hornets player Jeff Taylor was arrested early Thursday morning at a Michigan hotel, police said.
The East Lansing Police Department responded to the Marriott at University Place around 1 a.m. after a report of a domestic assault, according to a statement. They arrested the 25-year-old NBA player, and he was later charged with domestic assault, assault and malicious destruction of property.
He was taken to the Ingham County Jail on $5,000 bond.
The NBA said earlier this week that they would be taking a "fresh look" at the league's domestic violence policy. Currently, players are suspended for at least 10 games if they are convicted of a violent felony. Commissioner Adam Silver said the league and players association will be reviewing discipline policies as well as developing educational and prevention programs for players and their families.
