As of March 14, 2025, Alabama freshman forward Derrion Reid is listed as questionable for the upcoming SEC Tournament quarterfinal against Kentucky. Reid has been sidelined since February 15 due to a leg injury but returned to practice earlier this week in a limited capacity. Head coach Nate Oats expressed optimism about Reid’s potential return, stating, “I thought he looked alright in a limited role. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get him back for some—even if the minutes are just limited because he’s been out so long, just give us something to play a little bit deeper in three straight games.”
Reid’s presence could provide a significant boost to Alabama’s depth as they face Kentucky, a team dealing with their own injury concerns. Notably, Kentucky’s key player, Lamont Butler, aggravated a previous left shoulder injury in a recent game and is undergoing evaluations to determine his availability.
The matchup is scheduled for Friday, March 14, at 9:30 PM ET and will be broadcast on SEC Network and available for streaming via ESPN platforms.
