Standout men’s basketball player Devin Cannady ’19 entered a plea agreement on Mar. 11 for the four charges brought against him after he allegedly threw a punch at a Department of Public Safety Officer in Wawa on Jan. 18. Three of his four charges were dismissed. For the fourth charge, Cannady received a conditional discharge, and he will serve 20 hours of community service as part of the agreement. According to his attorney, Cannady has plans to return to the University in the fall and will be preparing for the NBA draft while on leave.
Cannady was a team captain and Princeton’s leader in points per game this season with an 18.2 average. He is fifth on Princeton’s all-time scoring list with 1515 points and third in three-pointers with 268.
Originally charged with aggravated assault — an indictable charge — the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office had downgraded it to a disorderly persons offense and remanded the case to the Princeton Municipal Court.
The Department of Athletics determined that Cannady has served the appropriate suspension from competition.
Cannady is charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and improper behavior.

Last week, ESPN and the Ivy League announced a ten-year deal in which ESPN agreed to cover over 1,100 events annually across 30 sports. Most of these events will be available through ESPN+, a new “upcoming direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service,” with a cost of $4.99 per month. Launching on April 12, ESPN+ is part of a redesigned ESPN app and will also be accessible through ESPN.com.
Princeton’s overtime victory over Penn this afternoon serves as an excellent example of why so many argued for an Ivy League tournament in the first place.
