Jillian Hollingshead back for Lady Vols vs. Missouri after missing Georgia win due to illness

Jillian Hollingshead is available for Lady Vols basketball's matchup with Missouri.

The junior forward was warming up with the team at Thompson-Boling Arena and Food City Center ahead of Tennessee's game against the Tigers (11-10, 2-6 SEC) on Sunday (2 p.m. ET, SEC Network+). Hollingshead did not travel with the Lady Vols (13-7, 6-2) for their win at Georgia on Thursday due to illness.

It was the second game this season Hollingshead had missed. The first game she missed was Tennessee's loss on Dec. 6 against Middle Tennessee State when she was out due to concussion protocols.

Hollingshead began the season as a starter, but has come off the bench since she missed the MTSU matchup. Hollingshead's minutes have been inconsistent since and she has only averaged 12.6 minutes in SEC play, but she's key to Tennessee's depth in the post. She's averaging 4.8 points and 5.4 rebounds this season.
