Good to go Saturday Philon (thigh) is available for Saturday's matchup versus Auburn, per Fisher Isbell of CW Sports.

Impact Philon was considered a game-time decision leading up to the game due to a thigh injury but is officially good to go. He is averaging 21.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists across 21 games, and he should continue to serve as the team's starting small forward against the Tigers.

Game-time call vs. Auburn Philon (thigh) will be a game-time decision for Alabama's tilt with Auburn on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Philon was recently reported to have missed practice Friday, throwing his status into doubt for Saturday. Indeed, the star guard will be a game-time call in a big showdown with rival Auburn. The Crimson Tide are exceedingly banged up; Philon's availability will be crucial for Alabama, especially considering he averages 21.4 points, 3.5 boards and 4.9 assists.

Misses practice Friday Philon didn't practice Friday due to a thigh bruise he suffered in Alabama's win over Texas A&M, Charlie Potter of On3 reports.

Impact Philon has played in all but one game this season; he's been largely healthy on an injury-plagued Crimson Tide squad. However, his status appears to be at least somewhat in jeopardy for Saturday at Auburn, as he wasn't able to practice Friday. Head coach Nate Oats didn't provide any further context, so it's unclear what Philon's status is moving forward. The star sophomore guard averages 21.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.9 assists this season on 52/39/75 shooting splits.

The Tide hosts Texas A&M on Wednesday.
