Nate Oats revealed on Wednesday that freshman big man Collins Onyejiaka would be out indefinitely with what Oats described as a "medical condition." Oats didn't go further than that with his description, but it's another early blow to Alabama basketball's depth.
Onyejiaka was a late addition to the 2025 roster. Originally part of the 2026 class, Onyejiaka committed and signed with the Crimson Tide over the summer and reclassified into the 2025 class to join the roster immediately.
While unlikely to play major minutes this season with sophomore Aiden Sherrell and senior Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson ahead of him, he looked likely to garner some spot minutes here and there.
