Losing Timmons prior to tournament play is a major loss for Alabama, who was the Crimson Tide's third highest scorer and was a consistent starter.
Timmons, a native of Charlotte, N.C., transferred to Alabama from NC State after the 2022-23 season where she played in 38 games in two seasons.
The Crimson Tide kick off NCAA tournament play on Friday, March 22, against Florida State, in Austin, Texas.
