Alabama guard Aden Holloway, who was arrested on felony drug charges, was granted permission by a judge to leave the state on Friday as his team prepares to face Michigan<\/a> in the Sweet 16 in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The Crimson Tide say \u201cnothing has changed with regard to Aden\u2019s status with the team.\u201d Alabama listed Holloway as out on the availability report given to the NCAA on Thursday. That report is allowed to be amended up to two hours before the game.<\/p>\n

The university removed him from campus last week \u201cpending further investigation by the UA Office of Student Conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holloway, Alabama\u2019s No. 2 scorer, was arrested March 16<\/a> after authorities found 2.1 pounds of marijuana in his apartment. He was suspended indefinitely following the arrest, but coach Nate Oats has not ruled out the possibility of his return in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n

Holloway\u2019s attorney, Jason Neff, had requested his client be allowed to travel \u201con a trip out of the state\u201d \u2014 without specifying where \u2014 departing Friday and returning Tuesday. Tuscaloosa County District Court Judge Joanne Jannik approved that travel Friday morning, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

If Alabama were to win Friday night, it would play in the Elite Eight on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Holloway\u2019s sister, Mila Holloway, is set to play for Michigan<\/a> in the women\u2019s Sweet 16 on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas, and could be playing in an Elite Eight game there on Monday.<\/p>\n

Among the charges Aden Holloway faces is a count of first-degree marijuana possession, not for personal use, which is a Class C felony and carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $15,000. The amount of marijuana authorities said they found was just below the 2.2-pound threshold for a drug trafficking charge.<\/p>\n

Neff has said there is no proof his client was selling the drugs.<\/p>\n
