Nate Oats provides update on injured Alabama big man Jordan Bruner
After transferring from Yale this offseason, Jordan Bruner became a steady presence for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The big man appeared in 13 games, starting all of them, before suffering a knee injury in the Tide’s win over Kentucky on Jan. 12.
On Monday, coach Nate Oats provided an update on the big man, saying it could be another month before he’s able to return to the floor for the Tide:
Alabama's Jordan Bruner (knee) is not expected to return for another 2-4 weeks, per Nate Oats. Averages 7.8 PPG and 5.3 RPG. A key piece for the Crimson Tide at center.

Bruner is averaging 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per game and is a solid defender, too.
We’ll see if the Tide can remain unbeaten in SEC play on Wednesday night when LSU visits Tuscaloosa.
