Rising senior guard Lamonté Turner underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left shoulder today to address lingering issues from this past season.
His activity will be limited for several weeks.
I respect Admiral Schofield for understanding the rhythm of his team & not playing end of game & OT. The most powerful thing for any person to do is to take their own ego out of the equation. Glad it worked out.

😭 I really was going to switch hands too. Me & coach barnes morning basically fought over it and he talked me out of it. Thank God that’s over and I’m healthy again. 🙏🏽 iykyk
Rick Barnes said Lamonte Turner spent weeks trying to learn to shoot left-handed over the summer without the coaches knowing because of his shoulder injuries.
"He gave us everything he had."
Zakai Zeigler's 13 assists are the most by a Vol since Lamonte Turner totaled 14 against Murray State on November 12, 2019
It's the most assists by a Vol vs. Kentucky ever

DRAFT SLEEPER SUNDAY-6’2 Senior G Lamonte Turner out of Tennessee is among the best 2-way prospects in the 2020 NBA draft. He averaged 12.3 PPG and 7.1 APG in 11 games this past season. Clutch, NBA ready lockdown defender. Full tape on the FV YouTube. Straight dawg 💯
@LTurn1
Markelle deadass sat and listened to everyone hate on him for two straight years, all the while knowing what he was capable of. That's elite mental toughness.
I gotta say I still like us… we loss 3 in a row yeah but it’s early and the teams are all contenders— good losses. Vescovi & ZaKai will be fine by conference play.

’ chance to make a Final Four run, but Rick Barnes said his big man is healed and ready to move forward:
3 Upper Class-men drafted from the same team. Grant Williams, Admiral Schofield, Jordan Bone. Guys who WON, DEVELOPED, PRODUCED AND WORKED themselves into NBA Players. Kudos to Rick Barnes, Coaching Staff and the Teammate’s of those guys. The culture of
@Vol_Hoops
is different.
Since I’ve been home I’ve realized just how blessed I am. Being in college and almost living in a different world it seems at times I forgot about the struggles I, as well as those around me had that I’ve grown to take advantage of.
