Nashville-The Alabama basketball center, Grant Nelson, seemed to be disturbed by an injury to the lower limbs after a game towards the end of the first half of the semi-final match of the Crimson Tide’s dry tournament against Florida on Saturday.
Nelson immediately left the game when a dead time was called with 3:40 to do before half-time. He hit the head coach Nate Oats at the back while he was passing in front of the bench, apparently indicating that he had to leave the alignment, and was escorted in the locker room a few moments later.
According to ESPN, the injury was on his left leg, and his return for the second half was questionable.
Alabama led 42-41 at the time, and Nelson had played a key role, with a top of nine team points, including a 3-point start. He also contributed three rebounds and a decisive pass in 10 minutes of action. A fifth year senior, Nelson’s game has improved recently, although it has scored only seven points in Kentucky AU’s 99-70 in the quarterfinals of the dry Friday evening tournament.
Alabama and Florida are fighting not only for the title of conference, but also for a potential seeder n ° 1 in the NCAA tournament. The winner will face Tennessee on Sunday during the championship match of the dry tournament.
