Hopeful for season opener Tchikou (Achilles) didn't take the court in Sunday's 73-68 exhibition victory over Louisiana, but he should be available for Alabama's Nov. 9 season opener versus Louisiana Tech, M...
Impact It's been just over a year since Tchikou suffered a serious Achilles injury that cost the 6-foot-11 center his entire freshman season. Following a medical redshirt season, the one-time four-star prospect will hope to gain clearance and eventually become a reserve option for projected starting center Charles Bediako. He appears to be healthy enough to play, but there are simply conditioning concerns at this point in time, which implies any return would likely be in short bursts to start.
