I can't imagine immune from charges, no. Immune from conviction? Most likely. I think you'd have a real hard time proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he did anything more than try to prevent a basket from being scored with utter disregard for the safety of his opponent.
I could see him being held civilly liable on gross negligence but I think battery charges would be very unlikely.
I also have no problem with the editorial decision not to publish his name.
