Tennessee-LSU basketball game injury report
Tennessee junior forward Cade Phillips is out. He will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 basketball season due to a recurring shoulder injury.
"We will sincerely miss having Cade on the court and he is certainly disappointed that he won't be able to play the rest of the regular season, but it's essential he gets healthy," Barnes said on Dec. 8, 2025. "Cade did all he could to play through this injury as long as possible."
Freshman guard Clarence Massamba is also listed as probable for the Vols against LSU.
Jalen Reed, Dedan Thomas and Ron Zipper are listed as out for LSU, while Max Mackinnon is questionable.
