Alabama guard Aden Holloway will miss five games including three exhibition matches and two regular-season contests following his drug arrest, according to coach Nate Oats. Holloway was apprehended on March 16 with 2.1 pounds of marijuana in his apartment, leading to charges of first-degree marijuana possession and failing to attach a tax stamp.
He was suspended indefinitely and removed from campus while an investigation proceeded. Holloway, who missed the Crimson Tide's Sweet 16 run, successfully completed a pretrial diversion program, thus having the charges dropped.
Oats commended Holloway for his consistent effort to return to the team, stating that the punishment was determined before the injuries affected Alabama's backcourt. Anderson Diaz, Preston Murphy Jr., and Jaxon Richardson were also absent for the exhibition game due to injuries. Amari Allen recorded 19 points and six assists for Alabama in their last game.
Holloway, who was Alabama's second-leading scorer last season with 16.8 points per game, had led the team in three-point shooting with a 43.8% accuracy. The senior transferred to Alabama from Auburn in 2024.
