Slated for December return Youngblood (ankle) will likely return to action in December, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Youngblood underwent surgery in the offseason after transferring from USF, and was previously reported to be expected to return for conference play. That timeline still checks out with a potential December return for the wing. Youngblood is coming off a career year with the Bulls, averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 45/41/82 shooting splits. He's slated to be a big-time contributor for the Tide upon his return.

Conference play likely post surgery Youngblood underwent ankle surgery this offseason but head coach Nate Oats stated, "We expect him to be 100% by conference play," Nick Kelly of AL.com reports.

Impact Youngblood was seen in a medical boot with a scooter earlier on Thursday, but he should be able to return on Jan. 8 when the Crimson Tide opens up conference play against South Carolina. The USF transfer averaged 15.3 points and shot 41.6 percent from the arc for the Bulls last season before making the switch to Alabama, and his status should continue to be updated as the season approaches.

DNP in a boot Thursday Youngblood (lower leg) did not practice with the team Thursday and was seen in a medical boot with a scooter, per Nick Kelly of AL.com.

Impact Though the severity of the injury is thus far unknown, it's a concerning sign for Youngblood as the 2024-25 season draws closer. The former USF transfer averaged 15.3 points per game for the Bulls last season before making the decision to head to Tuscaloosa. Youngblood's status will be worth monitoring moving forward through the offseason before the regular season starts up in November.
