Memphis has been in contact with the NCAA and is in the progress of resolving the situation surrounding the team’s star forward James Wiseman, according to CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish.
Parrish notes that while “no decision is imminent at this time,” the various parties involved are working together to reach an agreement rather than undertake a legal battle. The number of games Wiseman might have to sit out is the biggest issue to resolve, according to Parrish.
Last Friday evening, Wiseman, the top-ranked prospect in the 2019 class and potential No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA draft, played in the Tigers’ 92–46 win over Illinois-Chicago on Friday night after a local court granted him a hold on the NCAA’s ruling that would have ruled him ineligible.
