Kentucky awaits ruling on Mark Mitchell's eligibility amid ongoing legal case
Summary

The Kentucky Wildcats are currently waiting for a ruling on Mark Mitchell's eligibility, which was scheduled to take place on Friday in Louisville. Judge Brian Edwards may grant Mitchell and others an extra year of eligibility following recent judicial decisions. Mitchell, a former Missouri player, averaged 18 points last season but was not selected in the NBA draft. He currently signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Denver Nuggets and is hoping to transfer. No final ruling was made on Friday, as the judge postponed the decision until next week after requiring both parties to submit written arguments.
