RJ Luis Jr., a former St. John’s standout, is cleared by a judge to begin practicing with LSU and may be eligible to play for the Tigers this season. Multiple outlets report the decision allows him to resume team activities after a period of legal scrutiny.
Both sources say the case comes after Luis Jr. spent time with two NBA teams, a detail that frames why the eligibility issue reached court. Fox Sports and Yahoo Sports both describe the judge’s ruling as an authorization for him to start practicing and as a potential pathway to games for LSU, depending on further compliance with NCAA and team requirements.
While both accounts align on the core outcome—judicial clearance to practice and possible eligibility to play—the articles emphasize different background wording. Fox Sports foregrounds his identification as a former Celtic and Jazz player, while Yahoo Sports highlights his time with two NBA teams. Neither source provides additional details about the specific legal arguments or the timeline of the court process beyond the ruling allowing LSU participation.
