Alabama’s basketball offseason just got a little bit better.
Amari Allen is coming back to Alabama.
The forward withdrew from the 2026 NBA Draft on Wednesday, which is the withdrawal deadline date. This comes after Allen competed at the NBA Combine in Chicago, participated in a pro day hosted by Priority Sports, his agency, and worked out for numerous teams.
Allen started 24 games for the Tide as a freshman, averaging 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists.
In terms of other Alabama news regarding the NBA Draft, guard Labaron Philon Jr. is staying in the pool, as he’s widely expected to be a top-15 selection. Latrell Wrightsell Jr., Houston Mallette and Noah Williamson, each of whom exhausted their collegiate eligibility but weren’t invited to the NBA or G League Combines, are also hoping to hear their name called between June 23-24.
