RJ Luis Jr. Cleared to Play for LSU | College Basketball News

RJ Luis Jr., a former St. John’s standout who never played an NBA game, just won a major legal victory that clears him to return to LSU — and potentially play this season. After spending time with the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics without suiting up, a judge ruled he didn’t technically play professional basketball, granting him a preliminary injunction against the NCAA. His legal team hailed it as a historic moment, arguing that if overseas players can join college teams, American prospects like Luis deserve the same opportunity — especially since he missed G League time due to injury. The NCAA pushed back, citing precedent from Alabama’s Charles Bediako, but the judge sided with Luis, questioning whether he fully understood his decision to leave college for pro ball. Now, Luis is back on the court with LSU — while the legal fight continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
