Starting Sunday Nelson is in the starting lineup for Alabama's second-round matchup against St. Mary's on Sunday, per Michael Casagrande of AL.com.

Impact Nelson will re-enter the starting lineup for the Crimson Tide after coming off the bench in the team's first-round matchup against Robert Morris. Nelson played limited minutes off the bench against the Colonials due to a lingering knee injury but apparently feels well enough to give it a full go against St. Mary's. Alabama fans will be happy to see Nelson back in the starting lineup due to his 11.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game averages this season.

Is Grant Nelson playing today? Latest update on Alabama basketball star The latest update on star forward Grant Nelson ahead of Alabama's NCAA Tournament opener against Robert Morris today.

MARCH 21, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Available but not starting Nelson (knee) is available but not starting for Alabama's game Friday against Robert Morris, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact There is a lot of good for Alabama with Rothstein's announcement, as the Crimson Tide get one of their most reliable options back for use. Even with the redshirt senior's unimpressive output during the 2025 SEC Tournament, his final season's stats currently include 11.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Now, the question is how much Alabama will use him. Even though Nelson is available, it is not fully guaranteed the Crimson Tide use him Friday, especially knowing he is not part of their starting lineup against Robert Morris. "We're going to see how he feels after warmups," Alabama's head coach Nate Oats said, suggesting pregame warmups will dictate how much the senior plays.

Will not play much if available Nelson (knee) will not play his usual amount of minutes if available for Alabama's first-round game Friday against Robert Morris, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Currently, Nelson's 2024-25 season includes 25.8 minutes per game. The redshirt senior's first-round status remains unchanged, but him being available Friday would mean he will play less than 25.8 minutes against Robert Morris. Nelson's dilemma may not be so much of a problem for Alabama, as the Crimson Tide have enough depth to advance them for another round. It may really only affect Nelson, whose statistical upside for the first-round game itself has taken at least a slight downturn.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Friday Nelson (knee) is a game-time decision for Alabama's first-round game Friday against Robert Morris, according to Mike Rodak of 247Sports.

Impact After no news Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday finally included a Nelson update, but it just pushes his game availability's status to Friday, when Alabama and Robert Morris are scheduled for their first-round game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Even if Nelson is eased into action, Friday is the perfect time to do it, as Alabama's game opponents are not expected to be any easier than a No. 15 seed mid-major.
