Taylor Bol Bowen - DNP Sunday Bol Bowen (back) was held out of Sunday's matchup against UTSA due to back spasms, per Blake Byler of On3.com.
Impact Bol Bowen was reportedly a late addition to the injury report while dealing with back spasms, giving him his first absence of the season. The 6-foot-10 forward has been a star for the Crimson Tide this season, averaging 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game across eight contests. It is thus far unclear whether the issue is expected to sideline him any further, but his next opportunity to return will come against Arizona on Saturday.

Labaron Philon Jr. - Scores 20, dishes six assists Philon posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), a season-high seven rebounds, six assists and four steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 97-55 victory over UTSA.
Impact Philon has scored at least 20 points in his last three games and has topped that plateau seven times in nine games. He continues to score efficiently and is converting 56.6 percent of his field goals on his way to 20.4 points to go along with 5.4 assists. Philon will be challenged by the Arizona defense next Saturday.

Amari Allen - Nets another double-double Allen logged 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 97-55 victory over UTSA.
Impact Allen had his second straight double-double despite struggling from the field. The 6-8 freshman from Green Bay is taking advantage of the Tide's injuries and playing extra minutes. In his last four games, Allen has averaged 13.5 points on 51.3 percent from the field, 8.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists.

Jalil Bethea - Puts up 21 points Bethea produced 21 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Sunday's 97-55 victory over UTSA.
Impact Bethea was playing in just his second game of the season after coming back from foot surgery. He played six minutes in his debut against Clemson, but showed that he was healthy in the blowout win. The 6-5 sophomore will play in a more competitive game next Saturday against Arizona.

London Jemison - Scores career-high 20 points Jemison racked up 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 18 minutes during Sunday's 97-55 victory over UTSA.
Impact The Tide blew out the Roadrunners, but Jemison did not play extra minutes. He worked quickly and continued to score efficiently off the Alabama bench. The 6-8 freshman is converting 55.3 percent of his field goals and is averaging 9.1 points despite playing just 13.9 minutes.

Taylor Bol Bowen - Not part of starting lineup Bol Bowen is not part of the Crimson Tide's starting lineup for their upcoming game Sunday against Texas-San Antonio.
Impact Latrell Wrightsell (wrist) did not play several games but is available Sunday. Though the Crimson Tide's starting lineup can just add him in place of his temporary replacement, it was a recently successful Amiri Allen coming off a 20-point double-double. So instead of Allen, Bol Bowen will be the lineup casualty despite his 10.9 points per game this season.

Latrell Wrightsell Jr. - Available vs. Texas-San Antonio Holloway (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against Texas-San Antonio, according to Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News.
Impact After a four-game absence, Alabama will have Wrightsell available to tune up before the Crimson Tide play Arizona in a high-stakes matchup later in the week. In his last start, he was relatively lackluster in an Alabama-Illinois game that saw him log five points and two turnovers across 26 minutes. But for this season, Wrightsell is averaging 9.3 points and 2.0 three-pointers made. The team may look for him to step up with both Aden Holloway (wrist) and Keitenn Bristow (leg) ruled out Sunday.

Aden Holloway - Not dressed out Sunday Holloway (wrist) is not dressed out for Sunday's game against Texas-San Antonio, according to Blake Byler of On3.
Impact Holloway not dressed out Sunday indicates he is unavailable for Alabama's next game. The guard's upcoming absence will mark his second consecutive DNP, with his first coming Wednesday against Clemson. Without him against the Tigers, Alabama's starting lineup added Amari Allen, and he went off with a 20-point double-double in 36 minutes.

Keitenn Bristow - Not participating in warmups Bristow (leg) is not participating in warmups for Sunday's game against Texas-San Antonio, according to Blake Byler of On3.
Impact Bristow not participating in Alabama's pregame warmups indicates that he is out against Texas-San Antonio. The forward has proven to be a valuable commodity while available, averaging 7.3 rebounds in three games this season.

Aden Holloway - Game-time decision Sunday Holloway (wrist) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game versus UTSA, Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.
Impact Holloway reinjured his wrist and missed Bama's most recent win over Clemson, but he could make his return to the court as soon as Sunday against the Roadrunners. The junior guard has averaged 18.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists on 30 minutes across six starts this season. His status should be determined prior to tip-off in the upcoming home clash.

Latrell Wrightsell Jr. - Will be game-time decision Sunday Wrightsell (leg) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against UTSA Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.
Impact Wrightsell has been sidelined for Alabama's last four games as he works back from a leg injury, but he could make his return Sunday. The senior guard's ability to warm up ahead of tip-off should be the true indicator of whether he'll play. He has appeared in just three outings this season, averaging 9.3 points 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 26 minutes per game

Keitenn Bristow - Doubtful vs. UTSA Bristow (leg) is doubtful for Sunday's showing versus UTSA, Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.
Impact Bristow is set to miss his second straight game and sixth of the season as he tends to a leg injury. If the sophomore forward follows through with an inactive status, his next chance to see the court will be next Saturday against Arizona, so he'll have ample time to rest. He's averaged 6.7 points and 7.3 rebounds off the bench so far this season.
