Alabama basketball injury news
Grant Nelson will be available for the game against Robert Morris, Alabama announced via its NIL collective Friday morning, after he sustained a left knee injury against Florida in the SEC Tournament this past Saturday. How much Nelson plays, if at all, remains to be seen. The Crimson Tide might not need him against Robert Morris and allowing him to rest up could be beneficial.
