Tennessee basketball will be without one of its reserve forwards for its match with Arkansas.

Freshman J.P. Estrella is dealing with a left leg injury that will hold him out of the contest. He is currently listed as day-to-day.

Estrella is averaging 1.9 points and 0.9 rebounds per game in 17 appearances.

Estrella most recently appeared in the win over LSU. He saw the court for two minutes during the game — the same mark the game prior in the win over Kentucky.

The freshman's most production in SEC play came against Florida where he saw nine minutes of action and posted seven points. He also grabbed a rebound and blocked a shot in the contest.

Estrella has typically been used as the third center in cases where Jonas Aidoo and Tobe Awaka can't see the floor due to foul trouble. Fellow freshman Cade Phillips will likely step into that role in his replacement.

However, in the recent loss to Texas A&M, just Aidoo and Awaka were used as only eight players saw the court.
