Javian Davis’ injury isn’t believed to be serious.

Davis suffered a right knee injury in Alabama’s 77-62 win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday and had an MRI on Thursday morning, which the Crimson Tide is still waiting on the results on, head coach Nate Oats said in his appearance on the SEC men’s basketball teleconference.

But Oats had a positive outlook on the big man’s prognosis.

“He’s actually in film and says it feels a lot better -- we’re watching film right now,” Oats said. “So, my guess would be it’s not going to be long. My guess would be he’s questionable for this weekend based on the MRI. But he’s actually walking. He’s not even on crutches this morning.

“So, I don’t think it’s that bad.”

I’m good, Thanks to everyone who thought about me and had me in their prayers?? #RollTide — Javian Davis (@Jay0__) January 23, 2020

Davis played 12 minutes during Alabama’s road win over Vanderbilt on Wednesday evening before leaving the game with the knee injury. He recorded two points and seven rebounds.

A redshirt freshman, Davis has played in all 18 games this season, making nine starts. He is averaging 6.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting 57.6 percent from the floor.

Davis has transformed his body, losing roughly 50 pounds since he arrived at Alabama, and had a much larger role this season after redshirting last year. The Canton, Miss., native was a 3-star recruit and the No. 3 player in Mississippi in 2018, per the 247Sports Composite.

UA is already playing without three scholarship players -- two that suffered season-ending knee injuries before the season started in James Rojas and Juwan Gary and one that has to sit out one year due to NCAA transfer rules (and a denied waiver) in Jahvon Quinerly.

The Tide will next play host to Kansas State on Saturday, Jan. 25, at Coleman Coliseum.

“We’ve got K-State in the Big 12 Challenge, which the SEC, obviously, we need to do a good job,” Oats said. “We contributed to our non-conference play and probably not being as strong as maybe what it had been in the past here, so we need to do our part and try to win this game to help the SEC and our conference rankings out.

“Then once we get back into SEC play at LSU, we’ve really got to be playing better basketball.”
