Judge Approves Travel for Alabama’s Aden Holloway Before Sweet 16

The court's travel clearance contrasts with an ongoing team suspension.

Overview

  • Court records released Friday show a Tuscaloosa judge granted Holloway permission to leave Alabama after he requested approval to travel out of state.
  • He remains suspended from team activities and was listed as out for the Michigan game on Alabama’s availability report.
  • Nate Oats said earlier this week that Holloway did not travel with the team to Chicago for the Sweet 16, and he missed the tournament’s first two games despite averaging 16.8 points this season.
  • Holloway was arrested March 16 after agents reported finding 2.1 pounds of marijuana at his residence, and he faces counts of first-degree possession and failure to affix a tax stamp.
  • A preliminary hearing is set for April 14, and a court filing from his lawyer denies the allegations and demands strict proof from prosecutors.
