_Zeigler’s Knee Deemed ‘Sound’ After Injury Scare Against Kentucky_

Knoxville, TN – Tennessee Volunteers point guard Zakai Zeigler has been cleared to return to action after a thorough evaluation of his knee injury, which he suffered during Tuesday’s loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.

Zeigler, who has been a vital cog in the Volunteers’ offense, went down in the first half of the game, clutching his knee in pain. The injury sparked concerns among Tennessee fans, who feared the worst for their star player.

However, after undergoing a series of tests and evaluations, Zeigler’s knee has been deemed “sound” by the Tennessee medical staff. The diagnosis is a huge relief for the Volunteers, who rely heavily on Zeigler’s playmaking abilities and scoring prowess.

“Zakai’s knee is sound, and we’re fortunate that the injury wasn’t as severe as we initially thought,” said Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes. “We’re looking forward to getting him back on the court and continuing to compete at a high level.”

Zeigler, who is averaging 10.5 points and 5.5 assists per game this season, is expected to return to practice soon and could potentially play in Tennessee’s next game.

The news of Zeigler’s clearance is a welcome boost for the Volunteers, who are looking to bounce back from their loss to Kentucky. With their star point guard back in the fold, Tennessee will be eager to get back to their winning ways and make a push for the top spot in the SEC.
