Alabama Supreme Court Denies Charles Bediako’s Request to Play for Alabama Again

The Alabama Supreme Court cited Bediako’s prior NBA draft declaration and professional status in denying his motion, limiting his play to five games this season.

  • On Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, the Alabama Supreme Court denied Charles Bediako's emergency motion to resume competition with the Alabama Crimson Tide while his appeal continues.
  • His prior G League and NBA contracts influenced the Tuscaloosa Circuit Court's findings after the recent injunction hearing.
  • During the five games he appeared in, Bediako averaged 10.0 points and logged over 16 minutes on Thursday, Feb. 26.
  • Without Bediako, Alabama plays Tennessee in Knoxville at 5 p.m. CT and coaches say the team must move forward and support him.
  • The appellate timeline suggests the Alabama Supreme Court process can take months, Bediako's attorneys argued the case `is unlikely to resolve before the season concludes,` and his agent said a G League return would be considered.
