Alabama men's basketball guard Jaden Shackelford is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Dec. 20-26, 2021.
In the Crimson Tide's 79-78 loss to Davidson at the C.M. Newton Classic last Tuesday, Shackelford was a bright spot for Alabama. After recording no points in Alabama's previous game against Jacksonville State, Shackelford came roaring back with 20 points, five rebounds and an assist along with a steal in 33 minutes on the hardwood.
On the night, Shackelford was 8-of-15 from the floor and 4-of-11 from beyond the arc.
The loss at the C.M. Newton Classic was the only Alabama Athletics event held last week. The only other scheduled competition was Crimson Tide's women's basketball against Winthrop, but that game was canceled due to COVID-19 issues with the Alabama program.
