Probably worth it's own thread, without a misleading title. Princeton announced today that "Devin Cannady has decided to take a voluntary leave of absence from school to attend to a personal matter and, consequently, will not be playing basketball for the remainder of the season. He has our full support."

Is this a way of avoiding some pending university punishment related to the incident?

Devin Cannady posted this on Twitter a few minutes ago:
"I’d like to thank our AD, the athletic department, and the coaching staff for supporting me through this tough time. While it saddens me that I’ll no longer suit up for the program that I gave my all to, they will have my continued support as they pursue another Ivy League Title."

It’s a legitimate question. You’re being an a$$.

Ever notice it’s only the particularly clueless who trot out this dumb line? Before you it was AntiUngvar. What’s next, unprompted slagging of me on Twitter?

I don’t see how that makes sense. The school reinstated him so his penalty was over on the punch. I don’t see how he avoids anything by withdrawing- he can’t come back until Spring 2020 - only more severe penalty would be multiyear suspension (which is rare, and if they thought he deserved it, they would have given it to him).
Pure speculation - I could imagine a condition of the charges being dropped could be that he participates in substance abuse treatment. Which might be the best thing for him in the long run.

That's a good conjecture. How about this one: he has fallen so far behind on his thesis he can't finish it, and also not looking good for mid-terms.

The Trentonian article has the quote from the Athletic Department spokesperson at the time of DC's reinstatment that mentioned that the University had completed its investigation and adjudication. It must not have been so severe a punishment, since Cannady was back playing.
The charges also were reduced, which is certainly a positive for him.
While I am sure this has been very stressful for the young man, could he have just stepped away from the team and not the university - especially just a few months shy of graduation? Of course, he might just want to go away completely and be with his family, but with everything looking better than it did a month ago, I would think he would want to finish his time at Princeton and then move on, even if he decided to give up on college hoops.
Could this have anything to do with the Princeton Department of Safety being upset at the recent results?

The Dartmouth announcers handled with class the Cannady situation unlike the Chipster but it follows his normal behavior of being classless -- not the least bit surprising.
Princeton announced their full support for Devin as Devin addresses the situation. Only Devin, his lawyer and Princeton have full and complete information.
One of Chipster's compradres has previously expressed opinions with no knowledge -- demonstrating being clueless legally as well as some other attributes.

OK Pat, I take your point, and your speculation. The next significant date in the court case is supposed to be Monday, right? So speculating it has to do with that rather than the university makes sense.

Devin posted a thank you note to the coaches and staff online, saying that he intends to return for his final semester in the near future, and that since he has no eligibility remaining, he will be signing with an agent and declaring for the NBA draft.

The stuff about the NBA draft makes sense. Until this whole mess happened, Devin was looking like a legit NBA prospect -- a great athlete who was shooting ~40% on ~10 3pt attempts per game. That's insane. But ever since the suspension, his 3pt % has tanked hard and hurt his draft stock. He's no longer locked in mentally.
Also, the team is doing just fine without him in league play, shifting to a slower, interior-minded offense. As an added bonus, Jaelin, Schwieger, Desrosiers and Much will have more opportunities to develop. And Myles will officially be "the man" during crunch time. He's earned that reward.

Any news on Cannady's March 4th court appearance? There doesn't seem to be anything on the Daily Princetonian or the Trentonian about it.

Very probably not. He has taken a leave of absence from school and is believed to have left the campus.
