Labaron Philon’s initial status for Alabama basketball's game at Georgia was announced Monday, March 2.
Philon is available, according to the SEC availability report.
Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats said Philon wasn’t expected to be 100% healthy for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. In turn, Alabama’s training staff is focusing more on “managing” Philon’s undisclosed injury, Oats said, rather than expecting him to reach full recovery by the end of the season.

As expected, freshmen Collins Onyejiaka and Davion Hannah were listed as out. Oats confirmed Monday the two were not expected to play for the rest of the year.
Philon sat out of Alabama’s game against Mississippi State last week in order to rest for the game at Tennessee.
No. 16 Alabama (22-7, 12-4 SEC) tips off against the Bulldogs at 5:30 p.m. CT in Athens.
