## Key points

- A judge allows Babacar Sane to keep playing for now.
- The temporary restraining order remains in effect.
- Sane can play at the Las Vegas festival over Thanksgiving.

## Summary

Babacar Sane can continue playing for St. John’s while his legal case against the NCAA proceeds. A judge kept a temporary restraining order in place after a hearing, allowing the team’s co-captain to remain eligible for at least the next three weeks.

The full St. John’s team attended the Queens Supreme Court hearing in support of Sane, who called his teammates “family” while testifying. Judge Karina E. Alomar ordered Sane and the NCAA to file legal memorandums by 30 November; they must analyse the legal issues and cannot introduce new evidence. The timing of a final ruling is unclear, but Sane can play in St. John’s trip to the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas during Thanksgiving week.
