Alabama guard Latrell Wrightsell was seen in street clothes as the Crimson Tide warmed up for an Elite Eight matchup with Clemson on Saturday. Wrightsell was previously considered day-to-day after sitting out the Sweet Sixteen against North Carolina with a head injury.

Wrightsell has been a key piece for Alabama this season after transferring from Cal State Fullerton. He has started 12 of 30 games he has appeared in to average 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game and was shooting 44.9 percent from 3-point range, 45.1 percent from the field and 100 percent from the free-throw line. 

He initially injured himself in a second round victory against Grand Canyon. He ended that contest with just two points in 11 minutes of action.

Nick Pringle stepped into the starting lineup in place of Wrightsell in the previous contest and will again do so on Saturday. He finished the game against North Carolina with two points, nine rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes.

Alabama is also without redshirt freshman guard Davin Cosby, who has been sidelined by a broken foot during the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, Pringle is dealing with a heel bruise, but he went through warmups and is expected to give it a go tonight.
