Forward Derrion Reid is expected to return from a lower-body injury on Saturday as Alabama takes on visiting Auburn in a key matchup between the top two teams in the nation, ESPN reported.
Reid missed the past two games, an 85-81 win over Arkansas last Saturday and a 103-80 victory over Texas on Tuesday.
ESPN reported that while Alabama coach Nate Oats said Reid will be listed as a game-time decision, Reid is “95 percent certain” to return when the top-ranked Tigers (22-2, 10-1 SEC) and the No. 2 Crimson Tide (21-3, 10-1) tip off.
Reid reportedly has been practicing for the two games he missed and has responded well but will need to pass one more pre-game test before taking the court Saturday.
The 6-foot-7 Reid is averaging 7.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in his freshman season with the Crimson Tide.
