Wague (foot) logged zero points (0-1 FT) and four rebounds during Alabama's exhibition game Sunday at Wake Forest.

Wague undergoing foot surgery but recently being out of his walking boot and being ready rather quickly should not surprise fantasy managers. Now, the question is if he can actually start off Alabama's 2023-24 season healthily or have his Tide debut pushed back.

Wague (foot) is out of his walking boot, Mike Rodak of 247Sports reports.

Wague underwent a successful foot procedure this offseason and is participating in a limited fashion after shedding his walking boot. The 6-foot-10 junior appeared in 28 games with West Virginia last season, averaging 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 10.6 minutes per game. Wague will look to provide the Crimson Tide with some rotational depth at the center position.

Wague was added to Alabama's basketball team Wednesday, Rivals.com reports.

Wague was one of several players who decided to leave West Virginia after the resignation of ex-head coach Bob Huggins. Fortunately for Wague, it took less than two weeks for him to find a school he liked and was willing to commit to. Alabama needed a replacement for center Noah Clowney, who was selected in the 2023 NBA Draft. Now, the Tide have their choice between Wague, fellow transfer Grant Nelson and team mainstay Nick Pringle.

Wague (foot) entered the NCAA's transfer portal Monday, Blue Gold Sports reports.

Now, Wague is another player trying to transfer after Bob Huggins resigned as West Virginia's head coach less than two weeks ago. The collegiate sophomore averaged 4.1 points and 3.1 rebounds across his 28 games while enrolled at WVU.

Wague (foot) underwent practicing on Wednesday, according to Ethan Bock of the Portal Report.

Despite practicing on Wednesday, Wague still had a walking boot around his right foot. Currently, his availability is looking doubtful as the No. 9 Mountaineers prepare to compete in their NCAA first-round tournament game against No. 8 Maryland on Thursday.

Wague (foot) is still wearing a walking boot, according to Jared MacDonald of Bowling Green Daily News.

West Virginia's head coach Bob Huggins said he thinks "it is going to be a while" before Wague can play again. Unfortunately for him, he is not expected to participate in the 2023 Big 12 Tournament. With that in mind, Wague will have to wait until March Madness if he wants to play again before the 2022-23 NCAA season's conclusion.

Wague (foot) will be inactive indefinitely with a right foot injury, Keenan Cummings of Rivals.com reports.

Wague will remain sidelined indefinitely with a right foot injury. The 6-foot-10 sophomore has appeared in all 28 games this season, logging 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 blocks on 10.6 minutes per game.

Wague provided nine points (4-5 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 76-58 win over Mount St. Mary's.

Wague played the third-most minutes of any Mountaineer to open the 2022-23 campaign, as the team rotated in 11 players against Mount St. Mary's. The sophomore big man did not see the court during his first collegiate season, and he could play a significant reserve role behind starting center Jimmy Bell moving forward.
