Expected to play vs. Rebels Omoruyi (ankle) was limited in Alabama's practice on Monday but is expected to play versus Ole Miss, Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Omoruyi was helped off the court in Alabama's win over Texas A&M, but managed to return in the second half. The center is still nursing his right ankle injury, but it appears likely that he's going to suit up against Ole Miss in a big conference showdown. Omoruyi, who has yet to miss a game this season, averages 7.4 points and 6.4 rebounds.

Back in game vs. Aggies Omoruyi has returned to Saturday's matchup against Texas A&M after leaving due to an ankle injury, Charlie Potter of 247Sports.com report.

Impact Omoruyi was helped off the court with a right ankle injury in Alabama's outing versus the Aggies, but he luckily has returned to the matchup. The 6-foot-11 senior's status will continue to be monitored, but he appears to be healthy as the second half of the game is underway.

Helped off court after ankle injury Omoruyi had to get helped off the court after suffering an apparent ankle injury in Saturday's game versus Texas A&M, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Omoruyi is now questionable for a return to the matchup, but it doesn't look great as he couldn't get off the court himself. He logged four points and a team-high six rebounds before leaving the matchup.

Efficient showing in win Omoruyi closed with 10 points (5-7 FG), five rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 88-68 win over South Carolina.

Impact Omoruyi's minutes have taken a significant hit upon transferring to Alabama, as he often cedes time at center to both Aiden Sherrell and Grant Nelson. The Rutgers transfer is efficient with his opportunities, however, and he now has double-digit points in back-to-back contests for the first time since the first two games of the 2024-25 season. The more careful shot selection has led to a shooting percentage of 73.3, shattering his previous career high.

Remains quiet vs. Creighton Omoruyi amassed eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 win over Creighton.

Impact Omoruyi has simply been much less assertive this season, averaging almost four less shots-per-game than he did last year. The Rutgers transfer is scoring very efficiently, shooting over 70 percent from the floor. Still, he's scored in double figures just three times and has been an inconsistent presence around the rim (averages 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks).

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited output early Omoruyi supplied six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 100-87 victory over Illinois.

Impact Omoruyi was one of the prized transfers of the offseason, but he's been held in check though the Crimson Tide's first five games. He's scored single-digit points in three straight contests, and is only averaging 18.2 minutes. The center also hasn't been that assertive, averaging just 4.4 attempts per game. He's rebounding and blocking the ball at a solid clip, but he simply hasn't been the biggest factor offensively in Tuscaloosa.
