Really unfortunate. Always seemed like a decent kid and a good ball player. Hopefully, he has a full recovery.

Zakai Zeigler suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee Tuesday in Tennessee basketball's win against Arkansas, UT announced Wednesday.
"The Tennessee basketball family joins all of Vol Nation in lifting up Zakai with love and support," UT said in a school release. "We know - beyond all doubt - that Zakai will use this challenge to author an inspiring comeback story. He'll have our boundless backing every step of the way."

Damn. That sucks. He's a hell of a player.

Brutal, nice kid, good player and the fans have a special relationship with his family.
He will definitely receive a standing ovation when he returns to the court, either in uniform or street cloths l.

There were a lot of injuries this year. We are down 2 starters too now that Dexter Dennis is injured. It’s a damn shame. I wish Ziegler a full recovery.

Late injuries strike again. Last year it was Nkamhoua.

We just got JJJ back and were righting the ship from our slump. Zakai is up for Defensive Player of the Year (nationally) so this is a big blow for us.
Zakai is a leader and the heart and soul of the team. It's the basketball equivalent of losing Hendon Hooker in the 2nd to last game of the season. Gawd, I can't believe this has happened twice in a row.

I just hope that we have the equivalent of Joe Milton's Orange Bowl performance to make up for Zakai being out. But it's crazy that we've lost star players at the end of the year in both major sports.
