Alabama freshman Brandon Miller will play Wednesday night at South Carolina, the school announced about 3½ hours before tipoff, despite Tuscaloosa police testifying a day earlier that the star forward brought a now-former teammate the handgun used to kill a woman in January.
"UA Athletics continues to cooperate fully with law enforcement in the on-going investigation of this tragic situation," Alabama said in a statement. "Based on all the information we have received, Brandon Miller is not considered a suspect in this case, only a cooperative witness. Today's statement from Brandon's lawyer adds additional context that the University has considered as part of its review of the facts.
