Judge grants Aden Holloway’s motion to travel outside Alabama, per report
Published:
There’s been a development in Aden Holloway’s ongoing legal case.
According to AL.com’s Nick Kelly, a judge has granted a motion allowing the Crimson Tide’s star guard to travel outside the state of Alabama. The motion was granted by a Tuscaloosa district court judge.
The motion indicates Holloway will leave Alabama on Friday and return to the state on Tuesday. Holloway was required to ask permission to leave the state as he’s currently out on bail while he faces 2 felony charges.
The ruling comes as Alabama will face Michigan in the Sweet 16 in Chicago on Friday night. If the Crimson Tide win, they would then play again on Sunday in the Elite Eight in Chicago.
This ruling does not necessarily mean that Holloway will attempt to play for the Crimson Tide in either the Sweet 16 or the Elite Eight. Holloway was listed as ‘out’ on Alabama’s NCAA-mandated availability report on Thursday night. Alabama is required to submit a final report 2 hours before its game against Michigan.
On Thursday, Alabama’s Houston Mallette spoke about preparing for the Sweet 16 matchup against Michigan without Holloway.
“Guys have stepped up in his absence, like Taylor Bol Bowen is playing some of his best basketball,” Mallette said. “Jalil, the way he’s been practicing, you guys will see, he’s been really good. Noah Williamson, he’s having a phenomenal tournament. Guys have stepped up left and right.
“Like I said, that’s our brother. But we’re ready to play. We’re ready to prepare, and we love each other.”
Alabama and Michigan will tip off at 7:35 p.m. ET on Friday night.
