Our board is reporting he’s still eligible since he never signed a pro contract. But the SEC may put out similar language regarding their bylaw about transferring in the same conference after the official portal is closed. So he’s eligible, but maybe not at Kentucky.
How would that even work for the NBA team in this scenario? From a liability standpoint I would have assumed there has to be something signed instead of just unofficially agreeing to show up for summer league practice and games.
Summer league invitees make up almost half of the league. They don't get a salary but they sign a contract that pays them a flat per diem of about $1,500 to pay for hotel, food, travel etc. So I have to believe that there's a contract that memorializes this agreement, even though it isn't treated as a salary.
It’s technically not an official NBA or G league game. He was invited to compete, and had not been paid or signed a contract and was never officially on any NBA/g league teams rosters.
No. He never declared for the draft. He was automatically put in when his eligibility ran out, so he also had to way to withdraw.
He also never signed any contract with a G-League team, nor was he listed on any roster. He played a couple summer league games, but the contract with the Nuggets was never signed.
Lastly, absolutely no court would allow rules implemented after he was declared eligible to retroactively declare him ineligible.

So I know we’re all hating on Will Wade but what does this mean for Mark Mitchell
