Nate Oats updates the status of Latrell Wrightsell Jr. ahead of road trip to Florida
Alabama guard Latrell Wrightsell Jr. has missed the last four games for the Crimson Tide with a head injury. On Monday, ahead of Alabama’s final road trip of the regular, head coach Nate Oats updated the status of the sharpshooting senior.
Coach Oats would list Wrightsell as day-to-day and his status is still unknown for Alabama’s matchup against the Gators on Tuesday night in Gainesville.
“He’s been doing some basketball skills. He’s gotta get to a point where he can practice and then not have any type of headache the following day.”
“He was on a comeback protocol and then it got reset because he had a setback in it. It’d be nice to get him back. Again, it’s day-to-day. We’ve gotta see how he’s able to respond the next morning because once they go back to having a headache, they kind of start back at Day 0 again.
“But he’s coming along. As you could tell, he can shoot. He wasn’t doing anything live yet then.”
Getting Wrightsell healthy for the postseason will be critical for the Crimson Tide’s success both in the SEC tournament next week and the NCAA tournament later this month.
Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor the status of Wrightsell and will provide an update as soon as one becomes available.
