Fermin Out But Ready for 2026-27 | SEC Basketball News

Tennessee forward Christian Fermin’s summer is on hold after fracturing his hand in practice — but don’t worry, his 2026-27 season is still in play. The 6’10”, 225-pound transfer from VCU, who’s been crushing it in drills and calling the Vols’ intensity “next level,” will miss 4-6 weeks post-surgery. He’s part of Tennessee’s stacked frontcourt with Miles Rubin and Braedan Lue, and will join returning sophomore DeWayne Brown. Fermin, who started all 38 games last season before sitting out due to personal reasons, is eager to make his mark — and fans hope he heals up fast.
