Malik Reneau files for injunction to reclaim college eligibility
Summary

Malik Reneau, a former Miami Hurricanes forward, has filed an injunction in South Carolina seeking reinstatement for the 2026-27 NCAA basketball season. This move follows a recent court ruling that grants an extra year of eligibility to 2022 recruits who exhausted their four seasons. Reneau, previously a standout at Indiana, had an impressive final college season with Miami, averaging 18.9 points and earning All-ACC First Team honors. He went undrafted and played briefly with the Orlando Magic during the Summer League. A return to Miami appears unlikely given the team's depth and the emergence of rising star Shelton Henderson.
