Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly still on track to return for SEC play

Alabama PG Jahvon Quinerly is reportedly on pace to return by SEC play for the Crimson Tide.

On Tuesday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported that Alabama point guard Jahvon Quinerly isn’t practicing yet. However, he did report that head coach Nate Oats said, “(Jahvon Quinerly) is still on track to return for the SEC schedule and maybe a little sooner.”

Quinerly originally began his college career at Villanova. However, he transferred to Alabama after his freshman season. Since he arrived in Tuscaloosa, he has started in 34 games. Quinerly has averaged 13.4 points per game and shot 44.5% from the field.

Last season, he averaged a career-high with 13.8 points per game while making 27 starts. His season came to an end in Alabama’s round-one matchup against Notre Dame. He sustained a torn Achilles tendon that ended his redshirt-sophomore season.

Now, he is planning to return to action by the start of conference play. The Crimson Tide is coming off of an NCAA Tournament appearance. There are high hopes for the basketball program this season. Quinerly will certainly be a huge addition to the rotation when he returns to action.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Jahvon Quinerly’s injury and provide the latest as it is reported.
