The case stemmed from a May 1 encounter the basketball player had with Indiana State Police in West Lafayette.

Officers alleged they caught Edey going 101 MPH in a 55 MPH zone in his 2023 Kia Sorento … and according to an incident report, Edey said he knew why he was being stopped and stated he was traveling at a high rate of speed in an effort "to pass a vehicle."

Edey logged minutes in 66 games in his rookie season this past year … averaging 9.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per contest.

It's unclear if he'll face any sort of punishment from the NBA now that the case has been disposed — we've reached out to the league for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

  3. Sources: Edey beside himself. Driving around downtown Memphis begging (thru texts) Morant’s family 4 address to Ja’s home

  6. Bruh. Can this team go without someone not pulling some antics, FOR ONE SEASON?!

  8. Describing this as ‘cuts plea deal’ like he got busted shipping bricks of coke is wild

  10. that is just over 0.01% of his salary this year lol

    that’s like fining the average person less than $5

    RIP his insurance rates tho

  11. In Indiana, doubling the speed limit could lead to hefty fines, jail time, and a suspension of your driver’s license. Specifically, driving 30 mph or more over the speed limit is considered reckless driving, a misdemeanor, [according to Laws.com](https://dui.laws.com/indiana-traffic-fines). This can result in fines up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, and a license suspension for up to a year. 

    or 639.50, nothing, and nothing if you are 7ft and can hoop!

  13. Rich people should definitely have to pay more in situations like this. Dude is never going to learn his lesson if the only consequence is a $600 fine

  15. Speeding is not a joke, but when I read the amount it reminded me of Dr. Evil in the first Austin Powers when he asks for…. *one million dollars* and everyone laughs at him.

  16. When punishments for crimes are monetary then their are no rules for the rich

  18. Is there any state in the US which gives fines based on a person’s income, like Finland?

  22. People here act like going 100+ in tough. Any modern car can easily exceed that speed

  28. 101 in a 55 and not an hour of community service, no license suspension, and the damn Kia wasn’t impounded lmao.

    I guess you have to go full Henry Ruggs for consequences.

  39. I’d give him a Kia sponsorship no cap, man went a hundred in a Sorento lmfao, that’s nuts

  42. Ngl if I looked over on the highway and saw a comically large man going 103 in a Kia Sorrento I would cry laughing
