Perhaps the saga between the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball program and Charles Bediako is not over yet.

Just two weeks after the former G-League professional’s bid for a preliminary injunction from the NCAA to play the rest of the season was denied, Bediako is not giving up the fight yet.

As first reported by Nick Kelly of AL(dot)com, Bediako’s representation filed an appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court on the decision, which also includes a request from the Tuscaloosa circuit court for interim injunctive relief, which would allow him to return to the court while the appeal is pending.

Without the interim relief, the appeal would be irrelevant since it is only for the 2026 season.

“[Bediako’s] request will become moot without interim relief,” Kelly relayed from Bediako’s motion. “The University of Alabama’s regular season ends on March 7, the SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament takes place from March 11 – 15, and the NCAA Tournament will be held from March 17 through April 6. [Bediako’s] appeal is unlikely to resolve before the season concludes. Without interim injunctive relief, the whole purpose for [Bediako’s] appeal—the ability to play basketball for the University of Alabama for the remainder of play in 2026—will be null.”

Judge Daniel Pruet, who denied the injunction and sided with the NCAA, will be the one deciding on whether or not the Crimson Tide big man will be granted the temporary injunctive relief.

It’s just the latest twist to a story which seemingly has endless legal ramifications, and after Alabama was widely criticized for even allowing Bediako to play in the first place, it seems that this will not be going away anytime soon.

After the decision earlier this month, Bediako has remained at school and practicing with the team, so getting him back into the fold would certainly be a seamless transition.

A timeline for when Pruet will have a decision on the temporary injunctive relief is not currently known, but it could be as soon as this week. The Tide takes the floor on Wednesday against Mississippi State with just four games left on their regular season schedule.
