Tennessee basketball has been facing some injury challenges recently. Cameron Carr, the team's guard, did not practice on Tuesday before the team's departure for the Bahamas. This comes after he appeared to suffer a hand injury towards the end of Sunday's 103 - 68 win over Austin Peay. At present, his status for the pair of games in Nassau remains unclear.

Chaz Lanier's Limited Participation

The Vols' fifth - year guard, Chaz Lanier, was a limited participant due to a migraine. He was not available at the start of practice but eventually worked off to the side with strength coach Garett Medenwald and then joined five - on - five team drills. This shows the team's efforts to manage his condition while still keeping him involved.

J.P. Estrella's Foot Injury

Forward J.P. Estrella also did not practice due to a foot injury. Rick Barnes told the media on Sunday that Estrella is considered day - to - day until Tennessee can figure out "a different plan" for him. The sophomore didn't play against Austin Peay as he was dealing with a stress fracture in his foot that had been bothering him throughout the offseason. However, he was dressed out for Tuesday's practice and also worked with Medenwald off to the side at different points.

Darlinstone Dubar's Full Participation

Despite the absences of Lanier, Carr, and Estrella, Tennessee fifth - year guard Darlinstone Dubar was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. He recently returned to practice in a limited capacity after missing nearly two weeks of action due to a personal matter. This shows his determination to get back on the court and contribute to the team.Thursday's game against Virginia will tip off at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network. After that, Tennessee will face Baylor or St. John's on Friday night depending on Thursday's results. The Vols' next home game will be on Wednesday, Nov. 27 - the night before Thanksgiving - when they host in - state foe UT Martin. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET on SEC Network+. These upcoming games will be crucial for the team as they continue to deal with the injury situation.
