Arkansas Razorbacks Lose Freshman Star Boogie Fland for Season After Hand Injury

Coach John Calipari faces tough decisions as Arkansas seeks its first SEC win without their second-leading scorer.

Boogie Fland, Arkansas' standout freshman guard, sustained a season-ending hand injury during the team's January 11 game against Florida.
Fland was averaging 15.1 points and 5.7 assists per game, making him the Razorbacks' second-leading scorer and a projected first-round NBA Draft pick.
Arkansas is currently winless in SEC play (0-5) and has struggled to find consistency, losing five consecutive games by significant margins.
Coach Calipari is exploring replacements for Fland, with DJ Wagner, Johnell Davis, and Billy Richmond being key candidates to step up in his absence.
The Razorbacks face Georgia on January 23 in a pivotal game, with adjustments to the starting lineup expected to address the loss of Fland.
