Trouble returning tuple in a recursive binary tree function

I am writing a function that recursively finds the minimum and maximum values in a binary tree and returns a tuple (min, max). My code is returning the correct min and max for my test case but separately. Any advice on how to get it to return a tuple is appreciated! (As a note, I am not allowed to use LinkedBinaryTree functions that iterate over the tree for me but I attached the class I am currently using under my code)

My code

from LinkedBinaryTree import LinkedBinaryTree


def min_and_max(bin_tree):

    if bin_tree is None:
        raise Exception("Tree is empty")

    def subtree_min_and_max(root):
        minval = root.data
        maxval = root.data
        if (root.left is None and root.right is None):
            temp = (minval, maxval)
            return temp
        elif (root.left is None):
            ltemp = subtree_min_and_max(root.right)
            if (ltemp[0] < minval):
                minval= ltemp[0]
            if (ltemp[1] > maxval):
                maxval = ltemp[1]
            temp = (minval, maxval)
            return temp
        elif (root.right is None):
            subtree_min_and_max(root.left)
            rtemp = subtree_min_and_max(root.right)
            if (rtemp[0] < minval):
                minval = rtemp[0]
            if (rtemp[1] > maxval):
                maxval = rtemp[1]
            temp = (minval, maxval)
            return temp
        else:
            ltemp = subtree_min_and_max(root.left)
            rtemp = subtree_min_and_max(root.right)
            print((min(root.data, ltemp[0], rtemp[0])))
            print(max(root.data, ltemp[1], rtemp[1]))
            temp = (min(root.data, ltemp[0], rtemp[0]), max(root.data, ltemp[1], rtemp[1]))
            return temp

    return subtree_min_and_max(bin_tree.root)

root.left = a

b.parent = root
root.right = b

d = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(5)
d.parent = c
c.left = d
e = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(1)
e.parent = c
c.right = e
f = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(8)
f.parent = b
b.left = f
g = LinkedBinaryTree.Node(4)
g.parent = b
b.right = g
print(min_and_max(T))

The tester code makes a tree that looks like
