BATON ROUGE — The former Boston Celtics guard RJ Luis was not cleared to play with LSU by the SEC, reports say. 

Luis' eligibility to play with LSU has been up in the air for several weeks. LSU recruited the former NBA player and other international professional players to play on their team under returning head coach Will Wade.

The SEC said that these actions violate its rules, with the newest report closing the door on LSU's rostering of Luis.
