Memphis’ Sincere Parker arrested over assault charge

Guard Sincere Parker, expected to a major contributor for the Memphis Tigers as an offseason acquisition from McNeese State, was arrested on Saturday on a domestic violence charge.

Parker, 22, was arrested and held without bond in Shelby County Jail, before his bond was set at $120,000 on Sunday, per The Commercial-Appeal.

A woman filed a police report with the Memphis police department on June 12, stemming from an incident on May 27.

The woman alleged that Parker pushed her, slapped her and choked her before smashing her phone, leading to a vandalism charge as well as aggravated assault.

Parker averaged 12.2 points over 34 games coming off the bench for the Cowboys in 2024-25. The season prior to that, he averaged an even more robust 15.9 points per game for Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10.

The Memphis athletic department issued a short statement in response.

"The University of Memphis is aware of the situation and cannot comment on an active investigation."

The Tigers went 29-6 (16-2 American Athletic Conference) with a first-round NCAA Tournament exit at the hands of Colorado State, 78-70, last season.
