Vols Star Okpara a Game-Time Decision with Calf Injury

Tennessee basketball player Felix Okpara is currently a game-time decision for the Vols' upcoming home game against Auburn on January 31. He is dealing with a left calf injury, which was not initially listed on the team's availability report. Okpara, a 6-foot-11 senior, has participated in all 20 games this season. He averages 6.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, and leads the team with 1.6 blocks per game.

Okpara recently played a crucial role in Tennessee's 86-85 overtime win over Georgia on January 28. During that game, he secured 11 rebounds, his third game this season with at least 10 rebounds, and contributed six points. The Vols have recently settled on a new starting lineup, with J.P. Estrella entering the rotation on January 24. Should Okpara be sidelined, freshman DeWayne Brown II, who has started seven games, or junior Jaylen Carey, with two starts, could see increased playing time.
