Rick Barnes updates status of Jaden Springer, Santiago Vescovi

Tennessee is struggling on the basketball court, and suddenly dealing with a couple of injury issues. The problems admittedly go deeper than that, but getting two key players back to 100 percent would certainly help the Vols out of this slump.

Jaden Springer has now missed two games in a row, and Tennessee has lost both. Taking it a step further, the Volunteers dropped their first game of the year against Alabama after Springer exited that game just five minutes in.

The former five-star prospect had been growing into a creator role for Tennessee, something that has been noticeably absent in the last two matchups.
