Iowa State basketball player Abdel Nader was suspended from the team after he was charged by Iowa State Police with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, according to online records.

Nader, a Northern Illinois transfer who sat out last season, was stopped at 11:41 p.m. Saturday, according to the police record.

Nader, a 6-foot-6 forward, will be eligible next season.

"Coach (Fred) Hoiberg is aware of the situation," Matt Shoultz of the athletic department media relations department wrote in an email Sunday morning.

"Per our student-athlete conduct policy he is suspended indefinitely."
