Overview

• Bethea had surgery on his left foot on Sept. 19 in Birmingham performed by Dr. Norman Waldrop of Andrews Sports Medicine.
• Head coach Nate Oats said there is no timetable for his return but the team does not expect the injury to be season-ending.
• A report from Adam Zagoria says Bethea suffered a broken left pinky toe and could possibly return in late November.
• That reported timeline would sideline him for October exhibitions against Florida State and Furman plus early games including Nov. 3 vs. North Dakota and Nov. 8 vs. St. John's.
• Alabama enters the preseason with five available guards, leaning on Latrell Wrightsell, Houston Mallette, Aden Holloway, Labaron Philon and freshman Davion Hannah.
