Not starting Saturday Millora-Brown is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Tennessee, Robbie Weinstein of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Brown started in the team's most recent game against Mississippi State on Jan. 9 but will revert back to the bench with Clevon Brown returning from an abdominal strain. The 6-10 junior has averaged 4.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 17.1 minutes per game and could find himself back in the starting unit if Brown has a rough go in his return from injury.

Starting against Tennessee Brown (abdomen) is starting Saturday's game against Tennessee, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports.com reports.

Warming up ahead of game Albert (ankle) is warming up with the team ahead of Saturday's game against Tennessee, Robbie Weinstein of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Albert was facing a multi-week absence due to an ankle injury he suffered towards the end of December. It's unclear if he'll end up playing in Saturday's game but the fact that he's warming up bodes well for his availability moving forward.

Available after all Brown (abdomen) will be available for Saturday's game versus Tennessee, Chad Bishop of Vanderbilt's Athleic Communications reports.

Impact An earlier report suggested Brown would miss another game, but it appears the senior should see his first taste of action since Dec. 22. Brown should be slated for a depth role off the bench and figures see double-digit minutes consistently when he gets his legs back under him.

Out again Saturday Brown (abdomen) will not play Saturday against Tennessee, The Dore Report reports.

Impact Brown was believed to be a candidate to return Saturday but will ultimately be held out of another contest. His next opportunity to make his first appearance since Dec. 22 arrives Wednesday against Texas A&M.

Won't play Saturday Lawrence is out for Saturday's game against Tennessee with a right leg injury, Robbie Weinstein of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Lawrence was seen moving very slowly off to the side with a single crutch on his right side as he's in line to miss his third game of the year. His role has significantly decreased in recent games, and it's not yet clear when he'll return to the court.

Another terrific outing Disu posted 16 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks during Saturday's loss to Mississippi State.

Impact Disu recorded his third straight in double figures offensively while draining yet another three threes in this one. Disu was coming off a fantastic outing against Kentucky when he totaled a double-double in 33 minutes and converted three-of-six from beyond the arc.

Non-factor Saturday Evans had four points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal during Saturday's loss to Mississippi State.

Impact This was Evans' second straight start after coming off the bench over the previous three games. The senior though was merely a non-factor during the Commodores' loss. Evans is posting 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds in nine appearances this year.

First career double-double Pippen amassed 18 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 assists, one rebound and one steal in Saturday's loss to Mississippi State.

Impact After flirting with the idea over the past two seasons, Pippen finally accomplished the feat with his first career double-double in 34 minutes of action. Pippen's 12 assists were a new career best which demolished his previous high of eight set last season. Across nine games played, Pippen is averaging 21.6 points per game which is good for second over the entire SEC.

Opponent change for Tuesday Vanderbilt will not play Tuesday's game against Missouri due to COVID-19 problems at Missouri.

Impact With the postponement of this game, Vanderbilt is now scheduled to play against Tennessee on Tuesday.

Starting Saturday Millora-Brown is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Mississippi State.

Impact Millora-Brown is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench the last three games. It appears as though the Commodores are sacrificing some scoring to go with a bigger lineup against the Rebels as the 6-10 junior is replacing Myles Stute who has averaged 14.3 points over his last three games. It's unclear if this is a permanent move or not as Millora-Brown previously started the first five games of the season before being demoted to the bench.

JANUARY 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Saturday Stute will come off the bench for Saturday's game against Mississippi State.

Impact Stute started the past two games, earning 31 minutes in both contests. The Commodores will go with more bigs in Saturday's starting lineup, but Stute figures to see a decent share of minutes. In four games this season, Stute is averaging 11.5 points and 4.3 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.

Could return next week Brown (abdomen) could return at some point next week, according to Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports.

Impact Vanderbilt's head coach Jerry Stackhouse said Brown could "get back into the mix" next week, as he continues to recover from an abdominal strain that has kept him sidelined for a few weeks now -- he hasn't played since the Dec. 22 loss at Davidson. His next chance to play could come at Missouri on Jan. 12.
