Summary

Gonzaga transfer Chauncey Wiggins has withdrawn from a 5-in-5 lawsuit in Georgia to expedite his eligibility process. His fifth-year status was initially secured through a preliminary injunction, but the NCAA's stay reversed that decision. The Cobb County Superior Court has set oral arguments for January 12, 2027, which could delay his eligibility past Gonzaga's nonconference games. Wiggins is exploring options for injunctive relief elsewhere, as his attorney has not yet provided a definitive course of action. He contributed to Gonzaga's exhibition against Arkansas while not eligible to play.
