Mark Mitchell joins Kentucky lawsuit for NCAA transfer eligibility
Summary

Mark Mitchell, a former player for Missouri, has joined a lawsuit in Kentucky seeking injunctive relief from the NCAA. The aim is to become eligible for another year of college basketball and potentially enter the transfer portal, something currently restricted under existing rules. His hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Louisville. Mitchell's participation in the lawsuit follows indications that Kentucky is interested in recruiting him. Currently, he can only return to Missouri unless granted the injunction, which would allow him to communicate with other schools.
