According to AL.com’s Nick Kelly, the temporary restraining order for Alabama Crimson Tide center Charles Bediako has been extended another 10 days.
Per Kelly, this comes as a result of the counsel’s unavailability for a hearing, which was originally slated to take place Tuesday. As a result, Bediako can continue playing for Alabama, and the center will be available Tuesday night when the Crimson Tide host Missouri, as well as potentially longer, per Kelly.

Bediako made his return to the Crimson Tide this past Saturday night against Tennessee, playing 25 minutes. In his first game at Alabama since the 2022-23 season, Bediako posted 13 points, three rebounds, two steals, and two blocks on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, as well as 3-of-4 at the free throw line.
The Alabama center made headlines last week with the news that he was suing the NCAA in hopes to return to the Crimson Tide after three seasons in the NBA G League. Bediako was granted a temporary restraining order, which allowed him to be immediately eligible.
Alabama and Bediako will host Missouri on Tuesday night, with tipoff set for 8 p.m. ET on SEC Network. Alabama’s next game will then come this upcoming Sunday, Feb. 1, on the road at Florida.
