Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. ask judge to block SEC from intervening to keep him off LSU's roster
Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. are asking a Louisiana judge to block the Southeastern Conference from punishing LSU if Luis is added to the Tigers' roster. Lawyers for RJ Luis Jr. who was briefly under contract with two NBA teams in 2025 but never played a game for them are asking a Louisiana judge to block the Southeastern Conference (SEC) from intervening to keep him off LSU's roster. The request was part of a petition filed in state district court in East Baton Rouge Parish, where Judge Ronald R. Johnson recently granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA, which argues that Luis is ineligible to play. The SEC has a long-established rule against teams adding players with major professional experience to their rosters and recently updated provisions stating that the commissioner has the power to suspend coaches, fine universities, and restrict a member university’s voting privileges on conference matters. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has criticized the SEC's stance, calling its federal case "garbage".
