Tennessee starting forward Josiah Jordan-James is out for Wednesday night’s contest against No. 1 Alabama in Knoxville. James was not present for pregame warm-ups with less than 30 minutes until tip-off.
James suffered an ankle sprain during the final minute of the game against Vanderbilt in Nashville last Wednesday night. The Tennessee senior has been day-to-day since that injury occurred.
James did not play in the game against Missouri that following Saturday night.
