The Tennessee Lady Vols were absolutely rolling, up 119-49 against Florida A&M in their exhibition game. But all that dominance faded in the fourth quarter when point guard Kennedy Fauntleroy went down with an apparent knee injury, leaving the court without putting weight on her left leg.
The Awkward Landing That Stopped Everything
The incident happened under the basket. Fauntleroy landed awkwardly on her left leg, immediately grabbing her left knee as she went down. Athletic trainers rushed to her side, attending to her for several minutes while she remained on the ground. When she finally left the court, it was clear she was unable to bear weight on that left leg, a concerning sign for any player, let alone a key point guard for Coach Kim Caldwell.
It was October 27, 2026, and a commanding exhibition victory suddenly felt secondary to the health of Kennedy Fauntleroy. Fans will now be holding their breath for updates on her condition.
