Tennessee forward JP Estrella has missed the past 2 games for the Vols while dealing with left foot soreness. The Vols are being extra cautious with Estrella as he deals with soreness to the same foot that kept him out of most of last season.
On Monday, the SEC availability report provided an update for Estrella, who is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday’s matchup at Missouri. At the same time, freshman guard Clarence Massamba has been ruled out with a hip injury.
Massamba has seen the court for just one minute of SEC play.
Estrella was getting better and better before needing to be held out against Oklahoma. He was becoming a strong third scoring option for the Vols alongside Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Nate Ament and remains Tennessee’s best scoring threat in the frontcourt.
Tennessee was able to pick up a pair of wins without Estrella on the court, though. The Vols dispatched Oklahoma with ease before taking a thrilling, back and forth battle against Vanderbilt in Nashville. Tennessee has won 8 of its last 10 and is fighting for a 4-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
As it currently stands, Tennessee is the odds-on favorite to win tomorrow’s game at Missouri according to Kalshi. Here’s a look at the latest odds:
