It was about this time last year that Trevon Brazile saw his first season of Arkansas basketball cut short. Thankfully for him, it didn’t happen again Monday.
Brazile twisted his ankle in the waning minutes of Arkansas’ 97-83 win over Furman and left the game with a distinct limp. Replays showed him coming down after a jump and the ankle rolling hard, nearly touching the ground, before Brazile fell all the way to the floor himself.
“The doctors were messing with it,” Musselman said. “It is a sprain, a pretty good sprain and it’s already swollen.”
Brazile, in his second year after transferring from Missouri, has averaged 11.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks through nine games. He was named preseason All-SEC despite only playing in nine games last year because he torn his ACL in the team’s ninth game.
