Bailey eyes NCAA comeback after 10 NBA games
TL;DR Summary
Former UCLA guard Amari Bailey, who appeared in 10 NBA games for Charlotte on a two‑way deal, is pursuing NCAA eligibility to return to college basketball. He has hired an agent and a lawyer to seek a waiver to play (potentially in 2026-27), arguing his NBA stint shouldn’t permanently bar him. Bailey would have one year remaining in the five‑year window and plans to explore college options, a move that tests NCAA rules amid ongoing lawsuits and cases like Charles Bediako’s injunction.
