Unavailable Sunday James is out for Sunday's clash against North Carolina due to flu-like symptoms, Grant Ramey of 247sports.com reports.
Impact James played 27 minutes Saturday in a loss to Villanova but struggled mightily from the floor and finished with just two points. It'll likely just be a one-game absence for the 6-6 junior and he should be able to return to action Friday against Tennessee Tech.

Bounces back in Sunday's win James provided nine points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 94-62 win over East Tennessee State.
Impact After failing to be much of a factor in the season opener, James bounced back and posted a solid overall effort in his second straight start. The junior is currently averaging 5.5 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting just 21.4 percent overall from the field across the first two games this year.
NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Back from wrist surgery James (wrist) started and had nine points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes in Saturday's 103-62 exhibition victory over Lenior-Rhyne.
Impact James underwent wrist surgery in late-April and little has been reported about his progress since, but his presence in the starting lineup of a low-stakes exhibition suggests the third-year player is ready to go without limitations. At a glance, it also appears that he may have earned back the starting job he lost towards the end of last season, though it's likely wrist and ankle injuries affected his play down the stretch. Still, James had a career-best 8.0 ppg, even though his three-point shooting percentage dropped nearly six percentage points to 30.8 percent. He'll look to build on that in his third year with the program.

Tennessee Vols looking for answers at end of regular season

Rick Barnes insists that everything the Tennessee Volunteers wanted this season remains available to them with the exception of the Southeastern Conference’s regular season title
MARCH 2, 2021 • Associated Press
28 minutes in return James had two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three steals and an assist across 28 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 70-58 victory over Vanderbilt.
Impact James was able to give a pretty heavy minutes workload in his first game action since Feb. 13, though it does seem like the wrist injury could be something that lingers a bit the rest of the way out. That makes it fair to question his role, and ultimately his fantasy value, in the last few weeks of the season.

Checks into game Wednesday James (wrist) has checked into Wednesday's game against Vanderbilt, Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact James missed the past two games due to a wrist injury but is back for this one. The sophomore was averaging 8.9 points and 6.0 prior to checking in Wednesday.

Considered day-to-day James (wrist) is considered "day-to-day" in advance of Wednesday's matchup with Vanderbilt, Terry Lambert of SB Nation reports.
Impact James has now missed back-to-back games with a sprained wrist, though he was participating in warmups prior to Saturday's game against Kentucky. It appears the sophomore wing is trending towards a true game-time call.

Jackson, Kentucky win 3rd in row, top No. 19 Tennessee 70-55

Isaiah Jackson scored 16 points and Kentucky matched a season high with its third straight win, using an early run to top No. 19 Tennessee 70-55
FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • Associated Press
Doesn't play Saturday James (wrist) did not end up playing in Saturday's 70-55 loss to Kentucky.
Impact James notably went through warmups without a brace on his wrist but was later seen on the bench with the brace back on. He ended up not entering the game with the Volunteers playing catch up from the get-go. He'll now have a few more days to allow his wrist to heal before the team travels to face Vanderbilt on Wednesday.

Warms up, not starting James (wrist) took part in warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Kentucky, Mike Wilson of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports. However, he won't start the contest against Kentuc...
Impact James is expected to retake the floor after sitting out the previous contest with a wrist issue, so his participation in warmups serves as just another indicator of that outcome. The sophomore appears set to return off the bench, however, which could mean he's in line for a slightly smaller role than the 30-plus minutes he logged as a starter in his previous two games.
FEBRUARY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Should return Saturday James (wrist) is expected to play against Kentucky, according to Grant Ramey of 247Sports.com.
Impact James missed the Feb. 17 matchup South Carolina, but he's expected to return quickly to action and is likely to be available Saturday against the Wildcats. He is averaging 8.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game as a starter in 16 contests this season, but he has put up 9.7 points and 9.0 boards per matchup in three appearances off the bench.
