Summoning Sickness

If I played Journey to Nowhere on my friend's creature and the next turn he disenchanted the Journey to Nowhere, would his creature have summoning sickness?

I thought yes because the creature was coming back from "nowhere" and was coming under his control again. Could someone help me with this ruling? Thanks.

Yes because it entered his control after he started his turn. If he got rid of the O-ring before his next turn though (your end step for example) the sickness would go away.

302.6. A creature’s activated ability with the tap symbol or the untap symbol in its activation cost can’t be activated unless the creature has been under its controller’s control continuously since his or her most recent turn began. A creature can’t attack unless it has been under its controller’s control continuously since his or her most recent turn began. This rule is informally called the “summoning sickness” rule.
