Tennessee will enter Hinkle Fieldhouse without one of its top scoring options on Saturday.

According to Grant Ramey of the Knoxville News Sentinel, Robert Hubbs III has been ruled out for the non-conference matchup as he continues to recover from the knee surgery he underwent earlier this month.

The 6-foot-4 junior guard is third on the team in scoring at 15.3 points per game.

“I think he’s making good progress, but he’s not going to be ready for this one,” first-year Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said before practice on Thursday at Pratt Pavilion.
