JALIL BETHEA NEWS

Makes season debut Bethea (foot) posted two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in six minutes during Wednesday's 90-84 victory over Clemson in the ACC/SEC Challenge.

Impact Bethea had foot surgery in September. He transferred in from Miami after averaging 7.1 points as a freshman. The 6-5 sophomore has upside if he can prove healthy. He was a McDonald's All-American and a highly sought recruit when he chose to go to the Hurricanes. For now, Bethea will provide the Tide with guard depth.

Debuting against Clemson Bethea (foot) is active for Wednesday's game against Clemson, per Yea Alabama.

Considered day-to-day Bethea (foot) is considered day-to-day per head coach Nate Oats, Nick Kelly of AL.com reports.

Impact Bethea has yet to play this season and was expected to miss a significant chunk of time for the Crimson Tide, as he was in a walking boot and with a singular crutch just days before the season started. Still, the fact that he's day-to-day means he could feasibly return on Wednesday, Dec. 3 against Clemson. The sophomore guard, who transferred from Miami (FL), would be a big boost for the Crimson Tide.

Impact Bethea did have a basketball in his hand in the posted photo, but it doesn't look like he's anywhere close to returning to live action. He remains without an official timetable to return, though coach Nate Oats has expressed confidence that the sophomore guard will return this season (and have a meaningful role when he does). In the meantime, look for freshmen Amari Allen and Davion Hannah to take on more responsibility and potential rotation spots.

Impact Bethea will return to the bench against the Yellow Jackets after starting in the Hurricanes last 10 games, as Miami shakes up their starting five.

Impact Bethea was held scoreless across 13 minutes in his previous outing, so it was definitely surprising to see him set a new career high here. He's now started 10 of the last 11 contests, averaging a modest 7.7 ppg and 2.7 rpg over that span.
