Florida Guard Denzel Aberdeen Gets Court Injunction to Play This Season
A judge said the NCAA’s eligibility change is unlawful as Aberdeen, a former Florida and Kentucky guard, seeks another season in court.
- On Tuesday, Circuit court judge George Wright granted Florida guard Denzel Aberdeen a temporary injunction in Alachua County, allowing him to play for the Gators this upcoming season.
- Attorney Jesse Panuccio filed a lawsuit against the NCAA earlier this month, arguing the organization's eligibility restrictions for students from the 2022-23 class are 'unlawful' and breach its contract with the university.
- More than 30 courts have ruled the NCAA's eligibility decisions are 'arbitrary,' while Aberdeen started 35 games for Kentucky last season, averaging 13.5 points and 3.4 assists.
- Gators coach Todd Golden attended the hearing and expressed satisfaction, stating "We're pleased with today's ruling, and we're especially happy for Denzel." Aberdeen is expected to replace Xaivian Lee in the starting lineup.
- The Gators stand as betting favorites to win the 2027 national championship, with coach Golden retaining key big men Alex Condon, Thomas Haugh, and Rueben Chinyelu alongside Aberdeen.
