Alabama forward Darius Miles ruled out for the rest of the season

Alabama F Darius Miles OUT for the year with an ankle injury

The Crimson Tide men’s basketball team suffered a blow Saturday, learning forward [autotag]Darius Miles[/autotag] will be unavailable for the remainder of the season. Fortunately, Miles is expected to make a full recovery from his ankle injury.

The injury was sustained during the preseason. Despite his appearing in six games already this season, it was decided it would be in his best interest to focus on his rehab and not risk further injury.

Miles had not seen serious minutes in the six games this year, but it will certainly cut into the Tide’s depth, which only gets more crucial as the season goes on.

The No. 4 Crimson Tide host the LSU Tigers in a sold-out Coleman Coliseum on Saturday.
