NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (AP) — A University at Buffalo basketball player was charged Friday with assault and weapons possession after stabbing a rival player during an off-campus pickup scrimmage, officials said.

Malik Zachery, a junior, is accused of stabbing a Canisius College player in the leg in a church gym in the Buffalo suburb of North Tonawanda on Wednesday.

The first patrol officers to respond put a tourniquet on the wounded player’s leg to control the bleeding before he was treated at a hospital, North Tonawanda Police said in a news release. The suspect had fled.

Police said players from the two Buffalo colleges were playing a pickup game when a fight broke out and the unidentified player was stabbed.

Zachery was being held Friday pending his arraignment in North Tonawanda City Court. It was not immediately known whether he had a lawyer to speak for him.
Zachery has been suspended indefinitely from the men’s basketball program but remains enrolled at the University at Buffalo, school officials said.

[Spaulding!No!]

Paying the players would solve this.

That’s some lock down defense

Classic stick and roll offense....

Like the way he knifes to the basket!

The pressure got to Zach and he just couldn't cut it.

He does his best work from the point.

One of Malik's teammates said it was all a misunderstanding. English is not Malik's first language.
"On offense I told him he had to cut harder to the basket. And then I kinda got mad at 'em for not boxing out on crucial missed bucket possession and screamed: 'Stick him.' He just misunderstood. I never even knew he had a knife."

Zachery's nickname is The Polar Bear, for obvious reasons.
