In-Depth Analysis
Tennessee basketball will be without one of its key players when they open the season on Monday against Montana. Sophomore guard Darlinstone Dubar has been ruled out due to a lower leg injury.
The injury is not considered serious, and Dubar is expected to make a full recovery. However, he will not be ready to play in the season opener.
Dubar's absence is a blow to Tennessee, as he is a key part of their rotation. He averaged 5.8 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season.
Without Dubar, Tennessee will likely start Josiah-Jordan James at shooting guard. James is a talented scorer who averaged 9.3 points per game last season.
Tennessee is still favored to win the game against Montana, but Dubar's absence will make it a bit more difficult.
