Juwan Gary is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama men's basketball sophomore forward Juwan Gary is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Dec. 6-12, 2021. Gary is the first Crimson Tide men's basketball player to earn the weekly honor this season.
On Saturday night against No. 14 Houston in the Crimson Tide's only athletic contest of the week, Gary led Alabama with a career-high 19 points and also recorded four rebounds in the game. Additionally, Gary registered one block in 29 minutes on the court.
While Gary's numbers don't necessarily leap off of the stats sheet, Gary was scrappy in a tough, physical game against the Cougars. Of Alabama's seven offensive rebounds in the game, Gary recorded three of them and showed solid speed to the rim despite his size.
His efforts earned him the blue collar hard-hat award for the night.
