Alabama Basketball’s Availability Report Against Texas
Alabama Basketball Faces Injury Challenges Ahead of SEC Showdown Against Texas
As the Southeastern Conference (SEC) implements mandatory injury reports for key sports, No. 13 Alabama men’s basketball is gearing up for a crucial matchup against Texas on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT. This will mark Alabama’s third SEC game of the season, and the injury report reveals a mix of availability among key players.
In the initial report, Alabama’s Collins Onyejiaka and Davion Hannah are both listed as “out,” while Aiden Sherrell is “questionable.” Labaron Philon Jr. is deemed “probable,” despite uncertainties surrounding his health after he suffered “full-body cramps” in the previous game against Vanderbilt. Head coach Nate Oats expressed optimism about Philon’s participation while expressing concern over his lingering issues, including an Achilles injury.
Texas, under new coach Sean Miller after firing Rodney Terry, features seven returning players but lost its top scorers from last season. Alabama also had similar turnover, as key offensive contributors Mark Sears and Grant Nelson have departed.
As both teams prepare for the showdown, the availability of Alabama’s key players will significantly impact their performance and chances of rebounding with a home victory. Updates on player statuses are anticipated as game day approaches.
