Former Louisville basketball player Chris Jones allegedly sent threatening text messages to a female student one day before he was suspended from the Cardinals basketball team, according to WDRB-TV.
According to a University of Louisville police report, the woman, who had a relationship with Jones, tried to meet him at his apartment on Feb. 17. When he didn’t show up, she “mess(ed) up” his room. At 2 p.m. the following day, Jones allegedly texted her back, threatening to “smack TF out of” her.

The woman has decided not to press charges against Jones.
Jones was reinstated Thursday from a one-game suspension for violating team rules. He scored 17 points in 36 minutes in Saturday's 55-53 win over Miami before being dismissed from the team on Sunday.
The junior college transfer was third on the team in scoring this season, averaging 13.7 points per game.
