The NCAA issued a statement that the Ohio Court of Appeals has issued a decision that the preliminary injunction allowing players like Evan to play was an abuse of discretion by the trial court and undid the injunction.  There should still be an avenue available to the Ohio Supreme Court but I suspect that would take more time than they have.  

 

The plaintiffs (which include Tavari, Amani, and Evan) filed a notice that they will appeal.  NCAA to respond today.

Did we hear anything on the NCAA response?

Doesn’t Amani have a solid shot at making an NBA roster? Or is he just looking at keeping his options open?

I don't think he's currently with a team for the preseason, so it would appear his chances ended after the summer league.

Kenpom has released their 2027 preseason rankings. I'm not really a person to put too much stock into them, but I'm ready for the season to start.
