Brazile has severe ankle sprain, not ruled out for Saturday

Trevon Brazile will likely be a game-time decision on Saturday against Oklahoma, but Eric Musselman didn’t rule him out on Wednesday.

Trevon Brazile sprained his ankle badly in Monday’s 14-point win over Furman, but luckily avoided a season-ending injury like a year ago.

Eric Musselman had a Zoom presser with the media on Wednesday to preview Saturday’s Crimson and Cardinal Classic matchup with Oklahoma at the BOK Center in Tulsa.

Arkansas did fortunately get back Tramon Mark against Furman, and the junior transfer from Houston contributed 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 26 minutes of action.

Makhi Mitchell was also made available to media via Zoom on Wednesday, and spoke about the importance of playing at a high level against a ranked Oklahoma team coming in undefeated with tons of confidence,

“It’s going to take good rim protection and good on-ball defense,” Mitchell said. “I think it’s going to pretty much take everything to win this game.”
