Alabama basketball's injury situation worsens with key guard doubtful vs. Texas

Injuries have been a major problem for Alabama this season. 15 games into the season, only Noah Williamson and Houston Mallette have appeared in every single game.

After seeing star guard Labaron Philon leave the game against Vanderbilt on Wednesday with full-body cramps, Alabama is likely going to be down a different guard against Texas on Saturday. While Philon was listed as "probable" on the official availability report for tomorrow's matchup, senior Latrell Wrightsell is doubtful.

That designation doesn't come as a major surprise after Nate Oats spoke extensively about all the things Wrightsell has been dealing with this season after returning from the torn Achilles suffered in Las Vegas a year ago.
