TUSCALOOSA, Ala. \u2014 Alabama center Aiden Sherrell<\/a> exited Saturday\u2019s Kentucky game with an injury, and he did not return to the Crimson Tide\u2019s 89-74 win at Coleman Coliseum.<\/p>\n

After the game, Alabama head coach Nate Oats<\/a> offered an update on Sherrell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just didn\u2019t want to risk it,\u201d Oats said. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna get tests tomorrow. It\u2019s his knee, but they don\u2019t think it\u2019s anything serious. We\u2019re thinking he\u2019s gonna be able to play against Vandy, but we want to make sure he got more tests on an off day tomorrow before we make a decision on his availability moving forward next week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherrell left the game in the first half, limping to the Alabama bench. After getting evaluated by UA trainer Clarke Holter, Sherrell made his way to the locker room. He emerged just before the start of the second half, rejoining his teammates on the bench, but did not play again.<\/p>\n

Before his injury, Sherrell contributed three points, three rebounds, two assists and one block in nine minutes. The Crimson Tide big man was averaging 9.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game prior to the SEC opener. Sherrell was shooting 53.5 percent from the field.<\/p>\n

Amari Allen<\/a> exited the game just before Sherrell but was able to return in the first half. The true freshman finished the conference matchup with 11 points and a team-high nine rebounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmari was able to play through \u2014 he had an ankle sprain,\u201d Oats said. \u201cI talked to Dr. Cain after. He\u2019s gonna be real sore for a few days. We\u2019ll probably sit him until Vanderbilt, and he\u2019ll be able to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alabama was also without Taylor Bol Bowen<\/a> and Davion Hannah<\/a> against the Wildcats. On the final availability report for the Kentucky home game, Bol Bowen was a game-time decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaylor, Dr. Waldrep came in and did a whole evaluation yesterday on him,\u201d Oats said. \u201cIt just wasn\u2019t quite ready but available if needed. And I think the job Noah Williamson did made it so that we could sit Taylor one more game. But he got a big jumpstart on his treatment. He had a sprained ankle in practice a few days ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tide will return to the court on Wednesday, Jan. 7, when it travels to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. The SEC matchup is scheduled for an 8 p.m. tip on ESPN2.<\/p>\n
