Tennessee basketball forward J.P. Estrella will be available against Missouri.
Estrella was not listed on the SEC availability report Feb. 24, meaning he will be active for the No. 22 Vols (20-7, 10-4) in their game against the Tigers (18-9, 8-6) at Mizzou Arena on Feb. 24 (9 p.m. ET, SEC Network).
It is unclear if he will rejoin the starting lineup, or if he will be limited in a bench role.
Estrella missed the Vols' past two games while dealing with left foot soreness. It was the same foot that he needed surgery on, which forced him to miss the 2024-25 season.
Tennessee managed without Estrella in its wins over Oklahoma and at No. 21 Vanderbilt. Jaylen Carey started next to Felix Okpara, while DeWayne Brown II played well in increased minutes off the bench.
Since joining the starting lineup in the Vols' road win against No. 18 Alabama, Estrella has averaged 11.7 points and 7.0 rebounds. Tennessee is 6-1 with him as a starter.
