Missouri basketball adds CJ Gunn to roster pending legal eligibility

Summary

Missouri has reportedly added former DePaul and Indiana guard CJ Gunn to its roster for the 2026-27 season. The move follows the return of Mark Mitchell, who recently rescinded his commitment to Kentucky to rejoin the Tigers. Gunn, who went unselected in the 2026 NBA Draft, has enrolled as a student at Missouri. His ability to play remains contingent on the status of a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that he secured as a plaintiff in a Texas lawsuit. The school is currently managing roster limits, noting that Mitchell occupies a spot under a roster exemption related to the 2025 house settlement. It remains unclear if Gunn will also fall under an exemption or if the team will need to reduce its roster size to accommodate him as the 17th member.
