JOHN PETTY NEWS

Leads short-handed Tide Petty led the Crimson Tide with 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with five rebounds and two assists in Tuesday's 85-65 thrashing of Kentucky.

Impact In five SEC games, Petty is now averaging 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 31.2 minutes. He'll likely continue to see high usage, as Herb Jones (hand) is expected to miss some time. Jordan Bruner is also getting a knee injury checked out, while reserve point guard Jahvon Quinerly has missed three games in a row with a medical condition. It will be up to Petty and sophomore guard Jaden Shackelford (13.5 ppg) to carry the offensive production for Alabama as the team looks to maintain its undefeated SEC record.

Starting Saturday Petty is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Tennessee.

Impact Petty missed a game back on Dec. 22 in what was described as a coach's decision and then proceeded to come off the bench for the first time all season in a win over Ole Miss on Dec. 29. Whatever transpired with Petty seems to be in the past as the 6-5 senior will make his return to the starting lineup with the hopes of upsetting No. 7 Tennessee.

Disappointing start to year Petty is posting 12.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists over the first seven games this year.

Impact Petty has recorded a couple strong starts so far, namely tallying a season high 22 points against UNLV on Dec. 1. However, the Crimson Tide are expecting more from the guard, who had a stellar junior campaign when he averaged 14.5 points and 6.6 rebounds. Petty is also shooting a career-worst 28 percent from three.

Ready for SEC opener Alabama head coach Nate Oats said Petty (undisclosed) will be available Tuesday for the Crimson Tide's game against Mississippi, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Petty returns to action after sitting out Alabama's 85-69 win over East Tennessee State on Dec. 22 due to what the Tuscaloosa News called a "coach's decision." Assuming he's out of the dog house, look for the senior guard to immediately step back into a high-minute role on the wing, likely resulting in Jahvon Quinerly shifting back to the second unit. All indications are that this is the case, as Cecil Hurt of The Tuscaloosa News reports Petty receiving commendations on his attitude over the last three days of practice, with coach Nate Oats suggesting "Well get him in early."

Won't play Tuesday Petty won't play in Tuesday's game against East Tennessee State, Cecil Hurt of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact It's currently unclear as to why Petty will miss Tuesday's contest, as coach Nate Oats mentioned that it's an "in-house decision." Petty should have a good chance at returning to the floor for the Crimson Tide's next contest, as it's a week from Tuesday against Ole Miss.
