Trey Kaufman-Renn Wins Court Ruling Against NCAA
A temporary court order in Indiana blocks the NCAA from stopping the 2026 draft pick's return to college basketball after his split from Purdue.
Trey Kaufman-Renn, taken 59th overall by Minnesota in the 2026 draft, has won a court ruling that allows him to return to NCAA basketball.
An Indiana court issued a temporary order barring the NCAA from blocking his return to college competition. Kaufman-Renn is 24 and spent five years enrolled at Purdue, missing his first season under a redshirt rule.
By all accounts, that redshirt year is the crux of the case:, and the court's temporary decision has sided with him for now. He has already told Purdue their arrangement is over, so any return to college basketball would come at another school.
The NCAA has fought a string of similar cases from players trying to come back after four years at the top college level, and this ruling adds to that list rather than settling it., so Kaufman-Renn's next move — — is the open question the ruling leaves behind.
