Taylor Bol Bowen - Returns with seven boards Bol Bowen (ankle) recorded three points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 96-90 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact The 6-10 junior did not play in the Saturday win over Kentucky, but was able to play his regular minutes on Wednesday. Bol Bowen has snagged seven rebounds in three of his last four games. He has been held to single-digit scoring in his last five games and has converted just 25.0 percent of his field goals and 3-pointers over that span.

Amari Allen - Scores career-high 25 points Allen (ankle) totaled 25 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 96-90 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact The Green Bay native was considered probably going into the game with a minor ankle ailment. Allen has been playing well and has provided 17.0 points on 53.9 percent from the field with 9.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his last three games. He is averaging 11.7 points and 7.6 rebounds on the season. Alabama will look to get back to winning on Saturday against Texas.

Taylor Bol Bowen - Will play Wednesday Bol Bowen (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Vanderbilt.

Aiden Sherrell - Game-time call for Wednesday Sherrell (knee) will be a game-time decision for Alabama's tilt with Vanderbilt on Wednesday, per Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com.

Impact Sherrell has yet to miss any time this season, but he banged up his knee in the Crimson Tide's win over Kentucky on Jan. 3. He appears to be a true game-time call Wednesday night. The starting forward is averaging 8.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists.

Aden Holloway scores 26 to lead No. 14 Alabama over Kentucky 89-74

Aden Holloway tied a career-high with 26 points, Labaron Philon Jr. added 17 points and No. 14 Alabama beat Kentucky 89-74

The Sabans are in the house for the Tide 👏

Aden Holloway - Scores 26 again Holloway racked up 26 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 89-74 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Holloway has back-to-back 26-point games and has nailed 11 3-pointers in the scoring spree. In his last seven games, the 6-1 junior has converted 28 3-pointers and is hitting 47.0 percent of his long-range shots on the season. He will bring his 20.2-point average against Vanderbilt on Wednesday in a signature SEC game. He had 22 points in the win over the Commodores last season.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Labaron Philon Jr. - Returns with 17 points Philon (leg) racked up 17 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 89-74 win over Kentucky.

Impact Philon missed the Tide's win over Yale on Monday and had not played since Dec. 21. The sophomore guard did not convert a 3-pointer for the first time in seven games and had his second-worst shooting game. He will look to get back over 50 percent from the field on Wednesday against Vanderbilt. Philon was held to five points on 2-of-10 from the field in the win over the Commodores last season.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Williamson - Fills in with 10 points Williamson provided 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Saturday's 89-74 victory over Kentucky.

Impact Williamson played extra minutes with Aiden Sherrell leaving with a knee injury after nine minutes. The injury is not expected to be serious, but Sherrell could sit out Wednesday's game against Vanderbilt, which would mean more opportunities for Williamson. The 7-0 center had only scored 14 points total coming into Saturday's game.

Taylor Bol Bowen - Dealing with sprained ankle Bol Bowen is dealing with a sprained ankle, per Nick Kelly of AL.com.

Impact Bol Bowen missed Alabama's tilt with Kentucky on Saturday, and now we know why -- the forward is battling a sprained ankle. He dressed prior to the game but didn't wind up playing, so it's feasible that a return for the junior, who is currently averaging 9.3 points and 5.2 rebounds, isn't far off.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Houston Mallette - Supplies 14 points off bench Mallette ended Saturday's 89-74 victory over Kentucky with 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and five rebounds in 22 minutes.

Impact Mallette returned to the bench after a stretch of mostly starts as of late, but he still contributed on the scoring and rebounding front. The senior guard led the Crimson Tide in bench points, and he also outscored three of the squad's starters. He should continue to have a big role moving forward, starter or not.

Amari Allen - Sustains minor ankle injury Allen suffered an ankle sprain during Saturday's win over Kentucky but played through the issue and should be able to play Wednesday against Vanderbilt, Charlie Potter of On3 Sport...

Impact Allen suffered the injury in the first half, but he managed to play 31 minutes without any decrease in his effectiveness. The freshman logged 11 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. He has started three straight games and will likely be back in the first unit Wednesday against the Commodores.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Sherrell - Seemingly avoids serious injury Sherrell suffered a knee injury in Saturday's game versus Vanderbilt, but the isue isn't believed to be serious, Charloie Potter of On3.com reports. "We just didn't want to risk it...

Impact Sherrell left Saturday's game after playing only nine minutes and was ultimately unable to return to the floor. Thankfully, it doesn't appear he'll miss much time, though he will undergo additional testing Sunday to ensure there is nothing more to the issue. Sherrell's next opportunity to rejoin the action arrives Wednesday when the team travels to face Vanderbilt in Nashville.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Sherrell - Doesn't return after injury Sherrell (lower body) didn't return to Saturday's 89-74 win over Kentucky after sustaining an injury in the first half.

Impact Sherrell played just nine minutes before limping off the court. The Crimson Tide's starting center logged three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and a block. His next chance to play will come Wednesday at Vanderbilt.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Taylor Bol Bowen - Sits out Kentucky win Bol Bowen (undisclosed) didn't play in Alabama's 89-74 win over Kentucky on Saturday.

Impact Bol Bowen was deemed a game-time call Saturday against the Wildcats, but was then spotted warming up and dressed for action. However, the starting forward didn't play as Alabama toppled Kentucky for its fourth straight win. Bol Bowen will look to return on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at Vanderbilt.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Aiden Sherrell - Heads to locker room Sherrell went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against Kentucky with an apparent lower-body injury, Charlie Potter of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Sherrell limped back to the locker room during the first half of Saturday's contest, but it's unclear exactly what caused him to depart. He has three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across nine minutes.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Taylor Bol Bowen - Dressed vs. Wildcats Bol Bowen (undisclosed) is dressed ahead of Saturday's game against Kentucky, Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact Bol Bowen hasn't been fully cleared, but being fully dressed makes it very likely that he'll be able to play in the home contest. The junior forward is not starting in the matchup, so he's likely to come off the bench.
