Prince Ali

ANALYSIS
Ali, who continues to battle back spasms, will likely hold a bench role if he's given the green light to play. After a three-game stretch of absences, the senior guard returned last Saturday against Arizona, playing two minutes in what was largely a ceremonial role for senior day. His limited participation indicates that Ali's likely not at full health given he's played a major role when healthy. A further update ahead of tipoff could clarify his availability.
