Alabama star Mark Sears is withdrawing from the 2024 NBA draft pool and returning to the Crimson Tide.
"I got good feedback from the NBA," he said to ESPN's Jonathan Givony. "But I can still get better in a few areas. I want to show I am a dog on defense next season, continue to bring vocal leadership, and work on my body and get into better shape. NIL has changed basketball and NBA teams told me that age isn't a factor in today's game, so I was comfortable coming back to try and bring home a national championship to Alabama.
