Boston Celtics rookie Dillon Mitchell is at a crossroads that could rewrite the NBA draft: a court ruling may let him return to St. John’s for a fifth year, unlocking lucrative NIL deals — or accept a Celtics two-way contract worth half a million. But the NCAA is fighting back, calling the ruling “egregiously wrong,” and warns of chaos. Even if the court wins, NCAA rules on professional participation could still block Mitchell’s return — especially since he already played in the Celtics’ summer league. If he goes back to college, the Celtics keep his rights, but the ripple effects could shake up the entire draft process, forcing teams to rethink how they build their rosters.
