KNOXVILLE — Wayne Chism scored 18 points and grabbed 15 rebounds before a frightening injury forced him out of No. 14 Tennessee’s 89-62 win over Louisiana-Lafayette on Monday night.
With 5:12 left in the game, the team’s leading rebounder landed hard on his back under the basket after blocking a shot by La’Ryan Gary. Play was delayed for several minutes as Chism was strapped to a board, placed in a neck brace and taken out of the arena on a stretcher.

good grief...hope he's ok

According to GP, CAT scans have come back negative and he could play against Kansas on the 3rd.

Last night Pearl described it as a "Stinger" and he would be "OK."

I'm sure we'll know more today.

That's scary. Glad to hear he's going to be ok.

We play them later in the season and losing him would be a huge blow to UT. Is this really that NTR?

Never hope for an injury. As much as hate UT & would look for any advantage we can get when we play them, I can never wish an injury on anybody. I hope he is OK & gets back to playing quickly. He is definitely a solid player for UT.

Bruised spine and elbow. Doesn't look like he'll be gone too long.
