Zach Kent has stayed patient and waited his turn in the Tennessee basketball program. This was supposed to be the year that he stepped up and contributed on this team, but all of that has been put on hold for the time being.
Tennessee announced that Kent has “stepped away from the basketball program indefinitely” following their 76-41 win over Alabama State.
Kent was announced as inactive before the game began.
“It’s not disciplinary in nature at all, and he remains enrolled and has the full support of the program and the university,” a Tennessee spokesman said after the game.
