Dallas ? Baylor guard LaceDarius Dunn was suspended from classes by the university Thursday amid allegations that the star player hit his girlfriend during a domestic dispute, his attorney said.

Attorney Vikram Deivanayagam told The Associated Press it was too early to know whether the suspension would cause Dunn to miss the rest of the semester and be sidelined for at least the early part of the season.

The Waco university was following procedure for a student facing a felony charge, Deivanayagam said. The attorney said he and his client would explore options for trying to get an expediting hearing with university officials.
