CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Champaign police say Illinois basketball player Kendrick Nunn has been jailed on suspicion of domestic battery.

Police spokeswoman Laeisha Meaderds said Nunn turned himself in late Thursday.

Meaderds said Nunn was accused of striking a woman during a domestic dispute Wednesday afternoon at a home near campus. Meaderds said the woman's injury was minor. Nunn is due in court Friday.

Meaderds was not certain whether Nunn has an attorney. School officials did not immediately comment.

Nunn's arrest follows three other Illinois player arrests since last summer.

Illinois junior Jaylon Tate has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor domestic abuse after his arrest Saturday.

Forward Leron Black pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault last month. Darius Paul was kicked off the team last summer after he was arrested on a team trip.
