Good Thursday morning Tide fans and welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope everyone is having a great week as we inch closer to the weekend.
If you are new here, Alabama Morning Drive is an early a.m. update on all the latest news and notes involving the Crimson Tide. Thank you for allowing Roll Tide Wire to be a small part of your day.
Let’s just jump right into today’s top stories. On Wednesday, Alabama’s head men’s basketball coach [autotag]Nate Oats[/autotag] provided injury updates on two of the Tide’s key team members, Jahvon Quinerly and Nimari Burnett at the Regions Tradition Pro-Am in Birmingham.
Oats had this to say about Quinerly’s expected timetable.
“We’re hoping by SEC play. If his recovery goes great, maybe sooner. But we’re not gonna try to rush him because we want him to have a healthy year when he’s able to play and try to get himself to be able to play after college. So yeah, that’s when planning on is like by SEC play.”
“Nimari is not doing anything live with us, but we do anticipate him, at some point this summer, being able to start to go live with 5-on-5 stuff. He’s coming along, though. He’s on time, and we think by the end of the summer, he’ll be able to do some live, 5-on-5 stuff.”
