問題是他在NBA 已經打了十場 Former UCLA Guard Amari Bailey Seeks Shocking Return To College Basketball After Already Playing NBA Games Amari Bailey’s appeal to extend the boundaries of modern college basketball eligibility is drawing national attention. The former UCLA guard, now 21, is attempting something no player has done before. He wants to return to college basketball after appearing in regular season NBA games. Bailey’s pursuit is surprising considering the fact that he already made NBA appearances. Outside the major league, however, Bailey is looking to extend his basketball career. Although the move made immediate headlines, it’s understandable as the rising NBA star is not entirely happy with leaving college halfway. Amari Bailey pushes for college basketball eligibility after NBA stint Amari Bailey played one season at UCLA during the 2022–23 campaign before entering the NBA Draft. Selected in the second round by the Charlotte Hornets, he appeared in 10 NBA games on a two-way contract and spent time developing in the G League. Despite gaining professional experience, Bailey said the decision to leave college early still weighs on him. "Right now I'd be a senior in college," Bailey told ESPN. "I'm not trying to be 27 years old playing college athletics. No shade to the guys that do; that's their journey. But I went to go play professionally and learned a lot, went through a lot. So, like, why not me?" https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2026/01/30/amari-bailey-return-college-basketball-nba-charlotte-hornets/88439950007/# ----- Sent from JPTT on my iPhone --
