WATCH: Jahvon Quinerly limps to the locker room after suffering leg injury vs. Notre Dame

Just as quickly as the Round of 64 matchup between Alabama and Notre Dame began, Crimson Tide star Jahvon Quinerly went down with an apparent knee/lower leg injury. Alabama trainer Clarke Holter checked on Quinerly while the game went to commercial break.

By the time the broadcast returned to the court, Quinerly was taken straight to the locker room while limping despite help from two trainers on either side of him.

Quinerly took a hard drive down the baseline before pivoting hard on his right leg. Without any contact from the defender, the junior went down, clutching his knee. The extent of his injury is unknown for now.

For the Crimson Tide’s sake, they’ll hope for a miraculous recovery, as Quinerly’s 14.3 points per game ranks second on his team this season. You can catch the remainder of Alabama and Notre Dame live on CBS.

Alabama updates Jahvon Quinerly’s injury status against Notre Dame

Minutes after Alabama star Jahvon Quinerly injured his left knee and heading into the locker room, he was seen on crutches in the tunnel, stuck watching his team take on Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 64. He will not return to the game, according to an Alabama spokesman.

Quinerly went down after planting hard on his left leg on a baseline drive after he knee collapsed under him with no contact. They went into an impromptu media timeout, and by the time the broadcast returned to the court, Quinerly was taken straight to the locker room while limping despite help from two trainers on either side of him.

Nate Oats joined the broadcast for a moment to provide an update on his junior star, saying it was his left knee and that he doesn’t know the extent of Quinerly’s injury just yet.

The Crimson Tide will certainly miss Quinerly’s 14.3 points per game, which ranks second on Alabama this season. You can catch the remainder of Alabama and Notre Dame live on CBS.
