No, they would not be able to play and preserve their redshirt year.

Since we are at game 19 in the season (past the halfway point), they would not be able to play at this point and qualify for a medical redshirt. The rules to qualify for a medical redshirt are (1) that the injury has to happen during the first half of the season, and (2) the player has to have played in fewer than 30% of the team’s regular season games (9 or fewer). None of those games can be after the 15th game of the regular season, including the postseason.

The non-medical redshirt rule in basketball is very strict: you cannot play in any games at all. Coaches are lobbying to change that rule to be more like football, but so far that has not happened.
