Aden Holloway’s Alabama Crimson Tide and the Michigan Wolverines are on a collision course to face off in the Sweet 16. The winner of the contest will advance to the Elite Eight, while the loser will be eliminated from the running and forced to start from scratch.
At this time of year, health is everything. Here’s a look at the state of the health of both rosters. Neither team is set to be 100% available for the showdown.
Michigan Wolverines Injury Report
According to the team’s injury report via a Thursday report by The Michigan Insider, the Michigan Wolverines are set to miss two notable players. L.J. Cason’s absence will continue as the guard will reach one month without an appearance on the court. Freshman guard Winters Grady is also set to miss the contest.
Of the two, Cason’s 8.4 points per game will likely be the biggest impact. However, with the team down Cason’s 8.4 points and Grady’s 2.9 points, the team will need to find a way to make up 11.3 points against perhaps the team’s toughest opponent of the season.

Alabama Crimson Tide Injury Report
The biggest loss for the Alabama Crimson Tide continues to be Aden Holloway, who was arrested shortly before March Madness kicked off. The team’s second-leading scorer on average, has been suspended by the school until further notice.
The team will also miss freshman center Collins Onyejiaka, freshman guard Davion Hannah and sophomore forward Keitenn Bristow due to injuries. Overall, the biggest loss will be Holloway, but losing multiple underclassmen could add up to a problem at some point.
- Aden Holloway – Doubtful
- Collins Onyejiaka – Out
- Davion Hannah – Out
- Keitenn Bristow – Out
Holloway has made an attempt that might give him a chance to play, according to a report by Wolverines reporter Clayton Sayfie on X in a Friday report, but as the player is suspended by the school, it might not matter in the end. However, it is something worth keeping an eye on as the game approaches.
