Alabama Basketball's Injury Woes Ahead of Kentucky Clash
3 Jan
Summary
- SEC implemented mandatory injury reports for conference games starting this season.
- Key Alabama players Philon and Jemison are listed as probable for the Kentucky game.
- Alabama freshman center Collins Onyejiaka remains out indefinitely with a medical condition.

The Southeastern Conference has instituted a new policy requiring mandatory injury reports for football, basketball, and baseball prior to all conference games. This rule is effective for the 2024-25 season and applies exclusively to conference matchups. As No. 14 Alabama men's basketball prepares for its initial SEC contest at home against Kentucky on Saturday, the team's availability report details several key players' statuses. Players are initially categorized as probable, questionable, doubtful, or out, with game-day updates refining this to available, game-time decision, or out.
For the upcoming game against Kentucky on January 2, Alabama's report lists Labaron Philon Jr. and London Jemison as probable. Both players missed the Crimson Tide's last non-conference game against Yale, a 102-78 victory where Alabama set a season record with 22 three-pointers. Davion Hannah is listed as questionable due to a medical condition requiring management. Freshman center Collins Onyejiaka remains out indefinitely with a medical condition that has kept him sidelined since the third game of the regular season.
