There’s one key question surrounding this Tennessee basketball team entering the season — when will point guard Zakai Zeigler return? And when he does, how long will it take him to be back to full strength?

Zeigler tore his ACL to open the month of March earlier this year. Now just a couple of weeks away from the new season beginning, Zeigler is pushing to play as quickly as possible. And from the sound of it, things have gone pretty well.

The junior point guard was spotted going through drills in late summer, and according to Coach Barnes, he’s been itching to get back to full speed.
