Taylor Bol Bowen - DNP Sunday Bol Bowen (back) was held out of Sunday's matchup against UTSA due to back spasms, per Blake Byler of On3.com.
Impact Bol Bowen was reportedly a late addition to the injury report while dealing with back spasms, giving him his first absence of the season. The 6-foot-10 forward has been a star for the Crimson Tide this season, averaging 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game across eight contests. It is thus far unclear whether the issue is expected to sideline him any further, but his next opportunity to return will come against Arizona on Saturday.
