Alabama’s Aiden Sherrell Leaves With Right-Leg Injury vs. Kentucky as Tests Planned Sunday

Coach Nate Oats says the knee issue is not believed to be serious pending testing on Sunday.

Overview

  • Sherrell exited with 5:48 left in the first half after on-court evaluation for a right-leg injury and was escorted to the locker room.
  • He did not return to action, was listed as questionable to return on the ESPN broadcast, and later sat on the bench in uniform after halftime.
  • Oats said the injury is to Sherrell’s knee, the staff chose not to risk a return, and further tests are scheduled Sunday with optimism for availability against Vanderbilt.
  • Before leaving, the 6-foot-11 sophomore posted three points, three rebounds, two assists, and a block in nine minutes.
  • Alabama beat Kentucky 89–74, with Keitenn Bristow and Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson absorbing frontcourt minutes, including a season-high 10 points from Williamson; Sherrell has a history of knee issues and recently left the Arizona game with what Oats described as cramps.
