Out against Butler James (knee) won't be available for the Vols' matchup with Butler, per Grant Ramey of On3Sports.com.

Impact James got his first start of the season last week, and he put it work, logging 18 points, six boards and two assists while playing 25 minutes. James knee is apparently only sore, so the senior should be fine moving for forward. The Vols' roster is deep and talented, but James should be a key rotational piece throughout the season.

Scores 18 across game started James logged 18 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Tennessee's 81-50 win Wednesday versus Florida Gulf Coast.

Impact James and Olivier Nkamhoua logged Tennessee's most points. However, the former backup scored 18 across fewer minutes. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if James continues being a part of Tennessee's starting frontcourt while Uros Plavsic (ankle) is out indefinitely. After all, he has the experience. James averaged 10.5 points across his 30 games started during Tennessee's 2021-22 season.

No. 22 Tennessee rolls past Florida Gulf Coast 81-50

Joins starting five James will start Wednesday's game against Florida Gulf Coast, Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact With Uros Plavsic (ankle) sidelined, James will join the Vols' starting lineup in his place. Through the first two games, James is averaging 11.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 steals in 22.5 minutes per contest.

Excellent across 27 minutes James logged 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three steals, two rebounds and two blocks across 27 minutes during Tennessee's 78-66 loss versus Colorado.

Impact James was No. 11 Tennessee's only player who played well against unranked Colorado. Uros Plavsic suffered an ankle injury that game. If he must sit out at least one matchup, James is the likeliest candidate to be a part of Tennessee's starting lineup while his taller teammate recovers.
