Syracuse Confirms Leading Scorer Donnie Freeman Out vs. Tennessee With Lower-Body Injury

Overview

• SU director of athletic communications Pete Moore confirmed Monday that Freeman will not be available for Tuesday's game against Tennessee.
• The sophomore missed all three Players Era Festival games in Las Vegas with a lower-body injury and was seen in a right-foot walking boot.
• Freeman averaged 17.8 points over Syracuse's first four games, all wins, before getting hurt in the victory over Monmouth.
• Reports have indicated this injury is separate from the right-foot problem that sidelined him for much of last season.
• Tennessee arrives as a top-20 NET opponent, with tip-off at 7 p.m. in the JMA Wireless Dome, and freshman Sadiq White has started in Freeman's place.
