JOSIAH-JORDAN JAMES NEWS

Unlikely to return Tuesday James isn't expected to return to Tuesday's game at Vanderbilt after taking an elbow to the right side of his head, Mike Wilson of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

Impact James suffered the injury less than four minutes into the contest and had zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one assist before exiting. Per Wilson, James didn't go through warmups coming out of halftime but is back on the bench for the second half, so it's at least a good sign he didn't require further immediate evaluation.

Drops 11 points Saturday James logged 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 107-79 loss to Kentucky.

Impact The junior recorded double figures offensively for a third time over his past four outings, as James was coming off his first double-double of the year in the team's last contest against South Carolina. In 13 appearances, James is averaging 7.0 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Nine boards in return James closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 69-54 victory over Colorado.

Impact James missed three games with a hand injury, and while he made his return Saturday, it still came as a reserve with Victor Bailey staying in the starting five. James out-produced Baily in nearly every facet of the game, however, while also setting a season high in rebounding and matching his season-best blocks total. Barring any setbacks, James could be back in the starting five when the Vols take on Texas Tech on Tuesday.
