Charles Bediako has seemingly played his final game for Alabama basketball.
Bediako’s injunction was denied by a judge on Monday evening, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. This effectively ends Bediako’s controversial return to college basketball.

— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) February 9, 2026Bediako played in 5 games for the Crimson Tide this season. He averaged 10 points per game and also contributed 1.4 blocks per contest. He made 2 starts, playing just over 21 minutes a night.
His final game with Alabama was a big one. He came off the bench and scored 12 points while grabbing 3 rebounds in a narrow road win over Auburn on Saturday. That victory means Alabama is just 2 games behind first place in the SEC regular season standings.
Bediako previously played for Alabama, but turned pro after the 2022-23 season. Bediako received a temporary restraining order to return to college basketball last month.
Here are details on the ruling, which was made by Tuscaloosa County Court Judge Daniel Pruet:

Alabama will face Ole Miss on Wednesday night.
