Alabama senior guard Latrell Wrightsll exited the Crimson Tide's win over Auburn on Saturday during the first half and never returned. The oft-injured Wrightsell had to be helped off the floor during a commercial break, and Nate Oats told the media after the game that it was a knee injury, and Wrightsell would be evaluated.
Per college basketball insider Jon Rothstein, that evaluation went well on Monday. Wrightsell avoided any significant injury, and Oats told Rothstein that he expected Wrightsell to be able to play against Ole Miss on Wednesday.
While Oats commented on Tuesday that Wrightsell would be a "game-time decision" against the Rebels, his injury designation on Tuesday night's availability report indicates a much better chance that the senior guard will be able to go.
Wrightsell was officially listed as probable on the injury report.
Latrell Wrightsell is probable to play against Ole Miss
Wrightsell has missed eight games this season, and various injuries have prevented him from finding a rhythm for the Crimson Tide. But he has recently begun to get it going, which is a major development for Alabama down the stretch run of the season.
After some major struggles shooting threes earlier in the year, Wrightsell has hit 15-of-29 (51.7%) from beyond the arc over Alabama's last four games. That has lifted his overall percentage to above 40% in SEC play. He's also up to close to 34% overall from three on the season now, which is inching much closer to his career average than where he was in non-conference play.
Alabama forward Taylor Bol Bowen should also be able to play for Alabama against Ole Miss, which became all the more important after Charles Bediako lost his preliminary injunction on Monday and is now ineligible to play going forward.
Bol Bowen has only been able to play a combined nine minutes over the last three games. He exited the loss to Florida with an injury after two minutes, missed the Tide's win over Texas A&M, and then only played seven minutes on Saturday at Auburn.
With Wrightsell probable and Bol Bowen carrying no designation, Alabama is as healthy as they have been in a while heading to Oxford.
