Probable against Wildcats Wrightsell (undisclosed) is probable for Saturday's game against Kentucky.

Holloway's career-high 26 points lead No. 14 Alabama over Yale, 102-78

Aden Holloway scored a career-high 26 points and handed out seven assists as No. 14 Alabama defeated Yale 102-78

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores 15 even off bench Wrightsell closed Monday's 102-78 victory over Yale with 15 points (5-16 FG, 5-15 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes.

Impact Wrightsell was relegated to bench duties for a second straight game, but he still made a big difference on the court in the blowout win. The senior guard's recent role out of the starting lineup could be due to his inefficiency on the scoring front, so he'll likely need to figure that out before he gets another starting nod. He's averaging 11.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 23.9 minutes across eight games this season.

Brayden Burries scored 28 points, 20 of those coming during a 14-minute second-half flurry, and No. 1 Arizona rallied to beat No. 12 Alabama 96-75

DECEMBER 14, 2025 • Associated Press

Scores season-high 21 Wrightsell (wrist) amassed 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 96-75 loss to Arizona.

Impact Wrightsell had his most effective game for the Tide in the blowout loss. He showed that he was a willing shooter in his first game back from injury last Sunday by taking 18 shots (making four) in the win over UTSA. The 6-3 senior is averaging 11.8 points through five games. If Aden Holloway (wrist) is unable to go against South Florida on Wednesday, Wrightsell should be a good offensive option.

Available vs. Texas-San Antonio Holloway (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against Texas-San Antonio, according to Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News.

Impact After a four-game absence, Alabama will have Wrightsell available to tune up before the Crimson Tide play Arizona in a high-stakes matchup later in the week. In his last start, he was relatively lackluster in an Alabama-Illinois game that saw him log five points and two turnovers across 26 minutes. But for this season, Wrightsell is averaging 9.3 points and 2.0 three-pointers made. The team may look for him to step up with both Aden Holloway (wrist) and Keitenn Bristow (leg) ruled out Sunday.

Will be game-time decision Sunday Wrightsell (leg) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against UTSA Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact Wrightsell has been sidelined for Alabama's last four games as he works back from a leg injury, but he could make his return Sunday. The senior guard's ability to warm up ahead of tip-off should be the true indicator of whether he'll play. He has appeared in just three outings this season, averaging 9.3 points 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 26 minutes per game

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up ahead of game Wrightsell (leg) is not warming up ahead of Wednesday's game versus Clemson, Hunter De Siver of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Wrightsell is set to miss his fourth straight game as the Crimson Tide takes on Clemson at home. The 6-foot-3 senior has appeared in just three outings this season, averaging 9.3 points 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 26 minutes per game. His next chance to see the court will be this upcoming Sunday against Texas-San Antonio.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed 'day-to-day' Wrightsell (leg) is day-to-day according to head coach Nate Oats, per Nick Kelly of AL.com.

Impact Wrightsell has missed the last three games for the Crimson Tide with a leg ailment, but his return appears to be coming soon. The senior guard is a key part of Alabama's backcourt, and averaged 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in the three games he did play. He remains a question mark for Dec. 3 against Clemson, but is clearly trending in the right direction.

Impact It's unclear why Wrightsell won't be able to suit up for the matchup against Gonzaga, but his absence will open up a spot in the starting lineup. Houston Mallette and Amari Allen are the likeliest candidates to fill the vacancy, and both should see an uptick in playing time. Wrightsell's next chance to play will come Wednesday against UNLV.

No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. No. 5 St. John's Red Storm Highlights | FOX College Hoops

Provides 17 points Wrightsell (finger) racked up 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 22 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 win over St. John's.

Impact Wrightsell missed the opener against North Dakota, but was able to play and prosper against the Red Storm in Madison Square Garden. The 6-3 senior was limited to eight games in 2024-25 after tearing his Achilles. He looked good against St. John's and the Tide will need him with upcoming opponents including Purdue (next Thursday), Illinois and Gonzaga.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up, looks good to go Wrightsell is warming up and appears to be ready to play in Saturday's game at St. John's, Emilee Smarr of Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact Wrightsell, who missed the season opener, appears ready to make his season debut Saturday. He's been dealing with a finger injury, but he now seems to be over that ailment. He only played in eight games last season due to an Achilles injury, so this will be his first game since Nov. 30 of last year.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely available at MSG Wrightsell (finger) is expected to be available Saturday against St. John's in New York City, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Not in uniform for opener Wrightsell (undisclosed) won't be available for Monday's game against North Dakota, Charlie Potter of 247Sports.com reports.

Returns with 12 points Wrightsell (Achilles) scored 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with a pair of assists in the exhibition win over Furman.

Impact Wrightsell had sat out the Tide's previous exhibition against Florida State over a week ago. The injury caused the 6-3 guard to miss all but eight games last season, but he was able to play 15 productive minutes against the Paladins. He may work himself into the starting lineup before too long.

Sits out exhibition Wrightsell (Achilles) did not play in Thursday's exhibition win over Florida State.

Impact Wrightsell has been recovering from an Achilles tear from December 2024. The sixth-year guard is aiming to return to the court for the Tide's opener on Oct. 26, but he may be eased into the season because Alabama has a deep stable of backcourt players.

Toss-up for Thursday's exhibition Wrightsell (Achilles) said he has a 50 percent chance of playing in Thursday's exhibition game against Florida State, Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Alabama is managing Wrightsell's workload during the preseason as the senior guard recovers from a torn Achilles. While he's a toss-up for Thursday's contest, Wrightsell said there's a 90 percent chance he appears in one of the Crimson Tide's two preseason games, meaning if he sits Thursday, he'd likely suit up against Furman on Oct. 26.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On load management Wrightsell (Achilles) is undergoing load management as he recovers from his injury, according to Mike Rodak of 247Sports.com.

Impact Wrightsell is getting short reps in Alabama practices, and that situation limits his upside going into his 2025-26 season. However, there is still a month's worth of progress for the senior to get back on track, and that happening is looking more hopeful. Having averaged double-digit points and multiple three-pointers made for Alabama's latest season, Wrightsell is a proven commodity that has tremendous upside if fully maximized.
