GAME LOG

Pulls down 11 boards Okpara ended with four points (2-5 FG), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 95-56 win over Northern Kentucky.
Impact Okpara was a non-factor in the opener against Mercer due to foul trouble, but he bounced back with a strong performance on the glass in Saturday's lopsided victory. His offensive ceiling will likely remain limited, but he should do enough defensively to remain on the fantasy radar as Tennessee's starting center.

Not 1 but 2: Tennessee has pair of nation's top defenders for March Madness

Mindset, approach and toughness all are qualities a top defender must have in any sport
MARCH 21, 2025 • Associated Press
Quiet once again Okpara amassed four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 83-72 victory over Texas.
Impact Okpara has taken just six shots over his last two games combined, and predictably, it's led to a drop in production. He's scored four points in two straight games, but he at least had a better performance in the quarterfinals than he did in the regular season finale, when he fouled out after just 17 minutes. Tennessee doesn't need Okpara to be the most assertive scorer, but for an offense that can get stuck in the mud at times, it would certainly behoove the Volunteers if Okpara was a little more aggressive in the paint.

Brakefield propels Ole Miss to 78-76 win over No. 4 Tennessee

Jaemyn Brakefield scored all 19 of his points in the final 11 minutes, including a tiebreaking basket with 7 seconds remaining that lifted Mississippi over No. 4 Tennessee 78-76
MARCH 6, 2025 • Associated Press
Scores 15 in win Okpara (undisclosed) registered 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 65-59 win over LSU.
Impact Okpara was deemed questionable leading up to the matchup as he dealt with an injury but was able to give it a go. The junior forward will look to build on this performance for Saturday's clash against Alabama.
FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Considered probable Okpara (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Tennessee's game against LSU on Tuesday.
Impact Okpara has been on the injury report as of late, but has yet to miss a game this season. It's unclear what ailment the forward is battling, but given his probable designation, he appears slated to play unless any further setbacks occur. Okpara averages 7.4 points and 6.3 rebounds this season.
FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Saturday Okpara (undisclosed) is expected to play against Texas A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Okpara was listed as questionable on the SEC injury report, but the Vols should have their starting center available for a huge showdown with Texas A&M. The second-leading rebounder for Tennessee has yet to miss a game this season, and it appears it'll stay that way Saturday afternoon.
FEBRUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable Okpara (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Tennessee's tilt with Texas A&M on Saturday.
Impact Okpara has yet to miss a game this season, although he has been playing through a minor injury as of late, making several appearances on the injury report. It remains to be seen if he can keep that streak alive, which would obviously be advantageous for Tennessee and its every-game starter and front court staple.
FEBRUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Plays through minor injury Okpara finished Tuesday's 75-64 loss to Kentucky with eight points (2-4 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes.
Impact Okpara appeared on the injury report with a 'probable' designation prior to Tuesday's tilt, but as expected, it didn't force the Ohio State transfer to miss his first game of the season. Despite seeing a five-game high in minutes played, it was a lackluster day on the glass for the 6-11 center.
FEBRUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
No longer on injury report Okpara (undisclosed) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Kentucky and is in the starting lineup.
Impact Okpara was listed as questionable but will end up being available. The starting forward has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds.

Felix Okpara listed on Tennessee vs Kentucky SEC injury report Felix Okpara was listed on the SEC injury report ahead of Tennessee basketball's road game against Kentucky on Tuesday.
FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • TENNESSEAN.COM
Deemed probable Okpara (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Tennessee's clash with Kentucky.
Impact It's unclear why Okpara popped up on the injury report, but given his designation of "probable," it seems likely that he'll play. The starting forward has yet to miss a game this season, averaging 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds.
FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Contained in loss Okpara ended with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 loss to Kentucky.
Impact Okpara was active around the rim as per usual with seven boards and two blocks, but the forward remained limited as a scorer. He's only hit double-digit points in two games since the Calendar flipped to 2025.
JANUARY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Puts forth typical line in high-stakes game Okpara provided eight points (2-3 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 73-43 loss to Florida.
Impact Tennessee needed its big man in a tough road SEC matchup, and while both Okpara and froncourt mate Igor Milicic logged seven rebounds apiece, it wasn't enough to stop the Gators from out-performing the Vols on the glass by a margin of 55 to 38. Opposing big men Rueben Chinyelu and Alex Condon logged 15 and 12 rebounds, respectively, in what turned out to be a lopsided road loss for the No. 1-ranked Tennessee team. Individually, Okpara did record three blocks in the contest, and his role this season has been on par with his 2023-24 campaign with Ohio State -- a defensive-first center who starts, but rarely sees heavy minutes.
JANUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Remains limited as a scorer Okpara notched zero points (0-3 FG) and five rebounds across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 75-62 victory over Miami (FL).
Impact Tuesday night against Miami was a bit of an outlier, as it was the first time he had failed to score a point all season. Still, the center hasn't been much of a scoring threat for the Volunteers. The No. 1 team in the nation doesn't necessarily need him to be, as he's cleaning up the glass and providing rim protection. Still, don't expect him to light up the stat-sheet on any given night.
DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
13 points in rout Okpara closed Wednesday's 92-57 win over Montana with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes.
Impact Okpara hit double digit points for the second straight game this season. The center was quieter on the boards, but he had his most efficient scoring night against the Grizzlies. He hasn't been the most assertive offensive player for head coach Rick Barnes' squad, averaging 4.7 field goals attempted.
NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Four blocks in exhibition Okpara went for seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four blocks in Sunday's exhibition loss to Indiana.
Impact Okpara was able to hold his own defensively with a tough frontcourt of Malike Reneau and Oumar Ballo. Okpara averaged 2.3 blocks per game last season with Ohio State and should be amongst the leaders in the SEC in that category. It's also worth noting that he played over 31 minutes in this one, so his stamina seems to have improved and the 23.6 MPG he averaged last season should go up. The Vols open the regular season on Monday against Gardner-Webb.
