Babacar Sane eligible to play for St. John's amid court uncertainty

Babacar Sane remains eligible to play for St. John's through the end of the month following a second court hearing that did not conclude the eligibility lawsuit against the NCAA. The Queens Supreme Court has granted Sane a temporary restraining order allowing him to participate in upcoming games, including a non-conference clash with Syracuse and several contests at the Players’ Era Festival. His case revolves around a previous contract signed with the Utah Jazz in 2024. Sane has recently contributed five points and two rebounds in his debut for St. John's but missed the last game due to an ankle sprain and is expected to return soon.
