Kansas added former Purdue forward Trey Kaufman-Renn to its 2026-27 roster after an Indiana court granted a preliminary injunction allowing him to pursue another season of college eligibility while his case against the NCAA continues. Drafted 59th by Minnesota in June, he remains unsigned. The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 14.2 points and 8.3 rebounds last season and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after a 20.1-point-per-game junior season. Coach Bill Self said Kaufman-Renn has enrolled and begun practicing, and expects his experience and basketball IQ to help him adjust. He fills the roster spot opened by freshman Grant Mordini’s season-ending patellar tendon injury; his availability remains subject to the legal proceedings and NCAA action.

Replacing the injured Mordini with an experienced forward like Kaufman-Renn makes sense for the Jayhawks.

I don't like how these injunctions let players keep extending their eligibility like this.

Blazers Owner Says Portland Stay Priority

Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon says keeping the team in Portland is his priority as the team and local officials negotiate a new lease and funding for a major Moda Center renovation. Though relocation concerns have strained talks, the sides have recently made progress; a deal is time-sensitive because state funding is at risk if an agreement is not reached by December.
