RJ Luis Cleared to Play for LSU | College Basketball News

RJ Luis is cleared to play for LSU this season after a judge granted him a preliminary injunction, paving the way for his return to college basketball — despite brief stints with the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics without ever suiting up in a regular-season game. A standout at St. John’s, where he earned Big East Player of the Year honors averaging over 18 points per game, Luis went undrafted before deciding to return to college and commit to LSU in May. His case reflects a growing trend of athletes returning to college after professional exposure, sparking legal battles and raising questions about NCAA rules on eligibility. While this victory boosts LSU coach Will Wade’s roster, the NCAA may still push back, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in how college athletics navigates the pro-am transition.
