LSU Star Clears Path to Court | College Basketball News

RJ Luis Jr., a former St. John’s standout who never played an NBA game, just won a landmark court victory that could clear the way for him to play for LSU this season. After signing with LSU following brief stints with the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics — but never suiting up in the NBA — Luis faced NCAA eligibility hurdles. In a dramatic five-hour hearing, a judge sided with Luis, granting a preliminary injunction that sets a major legal precedent: if overseas pro players can return to college, so too should American athletes like Luis who never actually played professionally. The ruling hinges on the fact that Luis didn’t compete in any NBA or G League games — even missing a Celtics affiliate team due to injury — and questions whether he was fully aware of his options when he left college. While the case isn’t over, this win could reshape NCAA rules for returning players. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
