During the 2024-25 season, the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team went 28-9. They made a run to the Elite 8 before they lost to the Duke Blue Devils.
Wednesday, May 28, at 11:59 p.m. EST was the deadline for players to withdraw their names from the 2025 NBA draft. In a shocking twist, Alabama’s rising sophomore Labaron Philon withdrew his name from contention. He previously told ESPN’s Jeff Borzello that he was “all-in” on the 2025 draft. After careful consideration, Philon will return in 2025-26 to play for the Crimson Tide.
