Melvin Council Jr. has returned to Kansas after a preliminary injunction from a New York state court cleared the way for him to play a seventh college basketball season, the school announced Sunday.
The decision allows Council to rejoin the Jayhawks as his eligibility matter continues through the legal process. Kansas confirmed his return following the court ruling, which permits him to compete for the program this season.
Council’s return adds another experienced player to the Kansas roster as the program moves forward with its season. The school did not announce additional details beyond confirming that the injunction allows him to play.
