TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Prior to the 2024-25 season, the Southeastern Conference implemented a policy that requires mandatory injury reports for football, basketball and baseball ahead of all conference games.
However, it is only required for conference matchups.

For the initial post, players are listed as “probable,” “questionable,” “doubtful,” or “out” on the injury report.

I think it's pretty likely he plays Saturday, but I don't want to say for sure. "London we've been shooting for this game since he got hurt in the South Florida game, so hopefully the rehab goes as well as it's going and he's going to be available Saturday. "Davion's got a medical condition that we're trying to manage and work him back into game shape. He's just not quite there yet. I don't know where he'll be. So I anticipate Labaron and London playing against Kentucky, but it's hard to say. We'll see how rehab goes the next three or four days."since the third game of the regular season with a medical condition. He has been and still is out indefinitely.
