What's Happening?
Aden Holloway, a guard for Alabama, has been granted permission by a judge to travel out of state as his team prepares for the Sweet 16 game against Michigan in Chicago. Holloway was arrested on felony drug charges after authorities found 2.1 pounds of marijuana
in his apartment. Despite his legal troubles, the court approved his travel request, although his status with the team remains unchanged. Holloway was suspended indefinitely following his arrest, but there is a possibility he could return to play in the NCAA Tournament.
