Scores 21 off bench Wrightsell (knee) finished with 21 points (7-14 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 93-74 win over Ole Miss.

Impact Wrightsell had started the previous five games, but his questionable status caused him to move to the bench in support of London Jemison. He hit seven 3-pointers for the second time this season and scored 21 for the third. The 6-3 senior is converting 35.7 percent of his 3-pointers and has hit 22 treys in his last five games.

Good to go Wednesday Wrightsell (knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game at Mississippi.

Impact Wrightsell was "planning to play" in the away matchup, and his plans will now come into fruition as he doesn't hold an injury designation ahead of the game. The starting point guard went down with a knee injury in the Crimson Tide's most recent win over Auburn, which kept him out for the rest of the showing. Other than that contest, he's averaging 13.3 points and 3.3 three-pointers on 40.9/40.0/85.7 shooting splits across Alabama's conference stretch.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Wednesday Wrightsell (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game at Mississippi, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Even though Alabama's availability report is due for one more update before the team plays at Mississippi, Rothstein's update indicates that the Crimson Tide will push Wrightsell's availability as far as it possibly can before tip-off. Fortunately for them, him "planning to play" suggests that he is more on the probable side and will avoid a DNP due to his recent injury. Take away the Alabama-Auburn game he got injured in, and Wrightsell has 13.3 points and 3.3 three-pointers made per game on 40.9/40.0/85.7 shooting splits across the Tide's conference matchups this season.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Officially probable Wrightsell (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Ole Miss.

Impact An earlier report indicated Wrightsell was expected to be available Wednesday after sustaining a knee injury in the Crimson Tide's most recent game. Alabama's injury report reflects that, as the senior guard is considered probable. In the four games leading up to the injury, Wrightsell averaged 15.5 points.

Should be available at Rebels Wrightsell (knee) should be available Wednesday at Ole Miss, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Wrightsell suffered a knee ailment is Alabama's win over Auburn, and immediately after the game, little was known about the extent of the injury. However, an ultrasound reportedly revealed "nothing major," as Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats put it. Consequently, the guard is expected to play Wednesday in Oxford.

Knee ailment still unclear Wrightsell is dealing with a right knee injury, but that's the extent of what the Crimson Tide know about his ailment at the moment and he's expected to get it examined Sunday, per...

Impact Wrightsell played 11 minutes and notched five points, one assist and one steal before he was forced to leave the eventual win over Auburn on Saturday. At the moment, there's no details regarding what the senior guard might be dealing with. Given that head coach Nate Oats told reporters he's expected to get his knee examined Sunday, there should be an update about his status in the coming days before Alabama's game at Ole Miss on Wednesday.

Doubtful to return at Auburn Wrightsell (knee) is doubtful to return Saturday at Auburn, per Charlie Potter of On3.

Impact Wrightsell had five points, one assist and one steal thus far in Saturday's rivalry clash with Auburn, but the guard's day is likely finished. That's a big blow for the Crimson Tide, who are already dealing with a swath of injuries at the moment.

No. 23 Alabama visits No. 19 Florida following Wrightsell's 21-point performance

No. 23 Alabama visits the No. 19 Florida Gators after Latrell Wrightsell Jr. scored 21 points in the Crimson Tide's 90-64 victory against the Missouri Tigers

JANUARY 31 • Associated Press

Swishes seven treys Wrightsell finished with 21 points (7-11 FG, 7-10 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 90-64 victory over Missouri.

Impact Wrightsell stayed in the starting lineup with Amari Allen (undisclosed) out and equaled his season high in scoring in the blowout win. The 6-3 senior had been struggling with his long range shot and had converted just 27.3 percent of his 3-pointers coming into Tuesday. He had hit better than 40 percent of his shots from the perimeter in his first two season with the Tide, so a course correction could be in the offing.

Off injury report Wrightsell (groin) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Tennessee.

Impact Wrightsell is slated to return to action after a three-game absence due to a groin injury. The senior guard totaled 33 points, eight rebounds and five assists across his last three outing prior to missing time.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Likely back against Tennessee Wrightsell (groin) will likely be back for Saturday's game against Tennessee, according to Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68.

Impact Despite not playing Alabama's last three games because of a groin injury, Wrightsell has made relatively fair progress over the last week to boost his injury status to probable going into Saturday. Even though the redshirt senior's non-free-throw shooting numbers leave much to be desired, he has still provided excellent volume with 10.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers made per game in 10 games (six starts) this season. Add in Alabama's relatively unhealthy squad depth, and Wrightsell will undoubtedly be a welcome addition back into the Crimson Tide's rotation.
