On Friday afternoon, Alabama head coach Nate Oats shared an injury update on two key players prior to the Tide’s matchup with Auburn.
Oats reported that star guard Labaron Philon Jr. was unable to practice on Friday, as the playmaker continues to recover from a thigh bruise suffered during the win against Texas A&M. Philon would be a major loss for the Tide should he be unable to play on Saturday, as the star guard currently averages an impressive 21.4 points per game on 51.1% shooting.
Oats took a moment to share an update on Taylor Bol Bowen’s injury as well, as the Alabama head coach claims the forward should be ready to go by Saturday afternoon.
Both Philon and Bol Bowen have played a crucial role for the Tide this season, despite dealing with a multitude of injuries. Injuries have emerged as a constant obstacle for the Tide during the 2025-26 campaign, as Alabama will need to be as healthy as possible prior to their heated rivalry matchup against Auburn.
The Tide will be on the road to face the Tigers on Saturday afternoon, as Alabama will look to improve to a record of 6-4 to begin SEC play. Tipoff is at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
