Terrence Hill Jr., the Tennessee basketball point guard, went down with an injury early in the first half during the Vols’ exhibition game at Duke on October 20. It was a brutal moment, especially for a guy making his very first start as a Vol.
A Tough Break for Hill’s First Start
The incident happened quickly, at the 15:22 mark of the first half. Hill was dribbling the ball up the court, trying to set up the offense after a made basket, when he just took a spill. Right away, you could see him grabbing at his left ankle. It looked bad, and he needed help from two Vols assistants just to get off the floor and into the locker room. Talk about a gut punch for a player’s debut start.
Vols Scramble as Duke Pulls Ahead
With Hill out, reserve guard Troy Henderson had to step in and replace him. The No. 9 Vols were already struggling, trailing the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils 14-2 when Hill exited the game. He had only managed to score two points, both from a pair of free throws, before his night was abruptly cut short. It left the team in a tough spot early on, and you have to wonder what impact that kind of early blow had on their game plan.
This story will be updated as new information becomes available, so keep an eye out for any news on Hill’s condition.
