Charles Bediako News: Leaving G League for college ranks

Bediako will leave the G League's Motor City Cruise and is set to immediately join the University of Alabama basketball program after the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court granted him a temporary restraining order Wednesday, Nick Kelly of AL.com reports.

Bediako left the college ranks following his sophomore season in 2022-23, when he declared for the 2023 NBA Draft. He went undrafted and has since signed NBA contracts with three different teams - including a two-way deal with San Antonio during the 2023-24 campaign. However, because he never appeared in a regular-season NBA game, the 23-year-old was deemed eligible to return to college basketball. Since entering the professional ranks, Bediako had appeared in 83 career G League games, including 16 with Motor City this season. He averaged 4.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 15.1 minutes per game with the Cruise.
