Indiana Pacers Rookie Guard Arrested After Brief Police Chase in Indianapolis
A dramatic turn of events unfolded on Monday when Indiana Pacers rookie guard Kam Jones was arrested after a brief police chase through the streets of Indianapolis. The 22-year-old, who is expected to miss the start of the 2025-26 season with a back injury, has been charged with reckless driving and resisting law enforcement.
According to Marion County arrest records, Jones was pulled over by an Indiana State Police officer around 9:50 a.m. local time after allegedly erratic driving was reported. The young guard's vehicle reportedly reached speeds of 90 mph on I-65, exceeding the speed limit of 55 mph. When Jones finally brought his car to a stop, he claimed he didn't know he was speeding and mentioned being late for Pacers practice.
The arrest came as a surprise, given Jones's promising start to his NBA career. The rookie had finished second in the Big East scoring race at Marquette and was named to the consensus second-team All-American and first-team All-Big East team before entering the 2025 NBA Draft.
In a statement, the Pacers acknowledged that they were aware of the situation but declined to comment further, saying they were "in the process of gathering additional information."
Jones's next court date is set for October 23 at 9 a.m. It remains unclear what will happen to his status with the Pacers once he returns from injury, which could potentially impact his spot in the starting lineup.
The arrest serves as a stark reminder that athletes are not immune to law enforcement scrutiny and must adhere to the same laws as everyone else on the road. As Jones navigates this unexpected detour, fans and coaches alike will be watching closely to see how he responds and whether this incident will impact his trajectory in the NBA.

kam jones got caught doin 90mph on the highway lol he says he was late for practice 
but honestly its jus reckless driving plain n simple 
Pacers gotta be thinkin how dis a gonna affect his spot in the lineup 
dont even get me started on the injury he got 
cant wait to see how dis all plays out 
I mean, I get it, he was late for practice and might've been stressed out, but that's no excuse to put himself and others at risk like that. The fact that he claimed he didn't know he was speeding is pretty dodgy too. 
Kam Jones is like a total enigma right now! I mean, 90 mph on the highway? That's straight up reckless! 
And him claiming he didn't know he was speeding? Like, dude, how do you not know you're going that fast?! 
It's just one thing after another with this kid, first back injury and now an arrest... what's gonna be next?! 
. I've been following his career since college days, and now this? He's got some 'splainin' to do 
. 90 mph on the highway? That's just crazy talk! You'd think he'd know better than that, especially with a speed limit of 55. Guess even pros can have off days... or in his case, off moments 
. The Pacers need him to bounce back from this injury, but now they've got some questions about his judgment too 
it's like, I know we all make mistakes, but speeding 90 mph is just plain crazy 
. gotta keep an eye on this one, folks
