Still, the guard is still taking things day-by day and there's no clear timetable to get him back on the court. The Belmont transfer averaged 15.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists last season.

Nearing return to practice Lundblade (back) is getting closer to returning from a back injury as Tennessee resumed practice this week, Mike Wilson of On3.com reports.

Impact This is a positive step after Lundblade had been sidelined during Tennessee's summer practices. Associate head coach Amorrow Morgan noted that the 6-foot-5 guard is very close to being fully healthy. He was previously held out for precautionary reasons, so it is encouraging that he should be ready in time for the beginning of the 2026-27 season. When healthy, Lundblade figures to have a major role in the Volunteers' backcourt as he is coming off off a stellar season at Belmont, where he averaged 15.6 points per game and earned Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year honors.
