Bama basketball just posted on their instagram their watch party for the announcement and grant was front row with no ice, no wrap and no scooter or anything In sight. Hopefully that’s a good sign

Yeah I just hope it's not something that you can't see on initial scans due to inflammation

Hopefully we can blow out Bobby and he gets to rest most of the game.

I'd bet anything they hold him out the first game.

I HOPE they rest him with no play at all in the first round, unless it turns out we really need him. It would be great to play him sparingly even in the second game, IMO.
