BATON ROUGE — A Baton Rouge judge signed a preliminary injunction on Friday that paves the way for LSU to roster fifth-year player RJ Luis, according to court documents. 

Luis, a former Boston Celtics guard, was among fifth-year players LSU attempted to roster in Will Wade's first season; other than Luis, 14 of the 15 players LSU signed have played for the team so far.

On Oct. 28, a judge placed a temporary restraining order on the SEC to allow Luis to play for LSU's men's basketball team, and also scheduled a preliminary injunction hearing. On Friday, a judge granted the preliminary injunction and "enjoined the SEC from taking any action against LSU."

A judge had previously cleared fifth-year football players to be rostered, but LSU chose not to roster those players.

LSU previously chose not to roster Luis; additionally, the SEC and LSU used the potential rostering of Luis in their federal legal battle on whether the SEC has the standing to expel the school from the conference.

Attorney General Liz Murrill had argued for the dismissal of that federal lawsuit on the basis of LSU not rostering Luis.

Court minutes say that a decision subpoena filed against LSU President Wade Rousse and Men's Basketball Head Coach Will Wade by Luis' attorneys was deferred. Additionally, court documents say that the court denied to enjoin LSU.

According to Matt Moscona, Luis attempted to join the team in Spokane for LSU's game against Gonzaga, but the FAA outage prevented it. LSU has not officially rostered Luis, per its site.
