The school said Friday that an MRI exam
confirmed the initial diagnosis of a Grade 2+ MCL sprain. Adams,
a senior guard, was injured during Wednesday's 81-63 loss to
Temple.
The recovery timetable leaves Adams unlikely to play again in
the regular season with the possibility looming that he could
also miss the Big East tournament, which begins March 13.
Adams, who averages 17 points per game, was injured in the first
half when Temple's J.P. Moorman II fell on his leg during a
scramble for the ball. Adams had to be helped off the floor.
--Tennessee sophomore swingman Yves Pons will miss the
top-ranked Volunteers' contest against Florida on Saturday after
suffering a facial fracture.
School officials said on Twitter that Pons underwent a
"corrective procedure" on Friday.
Pons suffered the injury on Thursday when he collided with a
teammate during practice. The school said there will be an
update on Pons' status next week. Pons is averaging 3.2 points
in 15.7 minutes per game this season.
--Anthony Edwards, a 6-foot-5 guard from Atlanta, said he will
reveal Monday morning where he will play college basketball.
A McDonald's All-American, Edwards is listed as the nation's top
guard and No. 2 overall player by the 247Sports composite.
NBADraft.net predicts he will be the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NBA
Draft.
Georgia and Kentucky are the two colleges he is considering,
with the Bulldogs considered the frontrunner. He recently
canceled a planned official visit to Florida State. He once had
North Carolina and Kansas on his list of finalists but never
made official visits to either.
