Louisville women's basketball adds former LSU forward Amiya Joyner
Former LSU forward Amiya Joyner, who was part of a Louisiana lawsuit to enter the transfer portal, has committed to Jeff Walz's Louisville Cardinals.
Former LSU forward Amiya Joyner has committed to play women's basketball at Louisville. The 6-foot-2 athlete averaged 9.2 points and 7.5 rebounds during her time with the Tigers. Joyner played her freshman, sophomore and junior seasons at East Carolina before her eligibility expired. However, a July 31 ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Charlotte Sweeney in Colorado granted a preliminary injunction, making all high school athletes from the Class of 2022 eligible for the NCAA.
Despite the NCAA temporarily staying the injunction on August 21, various state lawsuits have provided athletes with more favorable rulings, leading Joyner to enter the transfer portal on August 20. A temporary restraining order has been granted, and a final hearing for her case is scheduled for September 4. As of now, she is eligible for the 2026-27 season according to her agent, William Clay.
This development in Joyner's college basketball journey will be further detailed in an upcoming article on the Louisville Courier Journal.
