A couple of weeks ago, Alabama Crimson Tide freshman forward Mouhamed Dioubate shared a photo on his Instagram story with his left knee heavily wrapped and in a brace, while Dioubate used crutches to stand. At that time, there had not been an official statement from the men’s basketball program regarding the injury.
On Wednesday, Alabama head basketball coach Nate Oats released a statement to BamaOnline providing an update on the injured left knee.
“Mo had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee performed by Dr. Lyle Cain on an injury discovered during the physical process,” said Oats. “He is expected to make a full recovery with plans to return this upcoming season.”
This is extremely fortunate news for Dioubate and Crimson Tide fans as the 6-foot-7 forward had expectations of making an early impact for Alabama this season.
Dioubate joined the Crimson Tide this offseason as part of the 2023 recruiting class as a four-star prospect from Flushing, New York.
