Hornbuckle Scheduled For Surgery Wednesday

Tennessee point guard Alexis Hornbuckle will have surgery to fix her broken right wrist Wednesday.

Trainer Jenny Moshak says further testing shows that Hornbuckle needs surgery, and the team's orthopedic hand specialist will put in a screw to help heal the broken bone.

Hornbuckle broke her wrist diving for a ball in the first half of Sunday's victory over Vanderbilt. The Lady Vols' starting point guard was their third leading scorer.

Coach Pat Summitt is trying several players at point guard in practice looking for a fill-in for Hornbuckle. The Lady Vols visit 13th-ranked Georgia Thursday night.
