Alabama guard Aden Holloway’s attorney said that Holloway would like to return to the Crimson Tide for the 2026-27 season.
Holloway, Alabama’s second-leading scorer this season, was arrested the Monday before the NCAA tournament began when police found over two pounds of marijuana in his apartment when executing a search warrant.
Thursday, Holloway was indicted on a felony drug possession charge, alleging that the marijuana found was not for personal use. He’s facing a maximum of 10 years in jail and a $15,000 fine for that charge, and the same max penalty for a felony charge of failing to affix a tax stamp.

Friday, Holloway’s attorney Jason Neff told ESPN that “although it’s not Aden’s call to make, given the opportunity, his intent is to play basketball next year.”
Holloway was suspended from the team after his arrest and missed the entire NCAA tournament. He was also given a campus ban after the arrest, but Neff also told ESPN that had been overturned at a university student conduct hearing.
The junior guard was Alabama’s second-leading scorer with nearly 17 points per game in 2025-26. It was his second season with team after transferring from Auburn following his freshman year. He scored at least 15 points in each of Alabama’s three SEC tournament games before his arrest, and had 18 points in the Tide’s semifinal loss to Ole Miss.
The Crimson Tide earned a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament on Selection Sunday, the day before Holloway was arrested. Alabama won its first two games of the NCAA tournament before losing to No. 1 seed Michigan in the Sweet 16.
