Bishop Boswell is out for Tennessee basketball against Middle Tennessee State on Monday with a right shoulder injury.
He is considered day to day.
Boswell was injured in the second half of Tennessee’s 84-36 win against Western Carolina on Wednesday. He did not return and had a sling on his right arm following the game.
The No. 1 Vols (11-0) have two nonconference games remaining starting with the matchup with MTSU (9-3) on Monday (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network+).
Tennessee has eight scholarship players available against MTSU. Forward J.P. Estrella is out after season-ending foot surgery and guard Cam Carr left the program Monday.
Bishop Boswell has right shoulder injury
Boswell collided with a screen from WCU’s Vernon Collins midway through the second half Wednesday.
The freshman guard immediately grabbed his right shoulder and crouched down to the court when play stopped. He checked out with 12:02 to play.
Boswell did not play in Tennessee’s season-opening win against Gardner-Webb while in concussion protocol.
GONE: Cam Carr elects to leave Tennessee basketball program at midseason, expected to transfer
Tennessee’s guard rotation is senior-dominated
Tennessee relies heavily on a veteran group of guards.
The Vols start the senior trio of Zakai Zeigler, Jahmai Mashack and Chaz Lanier. Jordan Gainey is the sixth man and has been dynamic in the past two games.
Carr elected to leave the program Monday. He likely will enter the transfer portal when it opens in late March. He could pursue a medical redshirt because he played in four games this season before suffering a left thumb injury.
